Set column is tricky. It is actually bit map internally with bits corresponding to
row having this value in the set or not.

BTREE indexes can typically help optimizing = and </> operations. It is not easy to generally optimize finding some bits set.

So in your case it is expected MySQL picked up the key without SET column in it.
