What happened:
syft config prints the following section:

package:
# search within archives that do contain a file index to search against (zip)
# note: for now this only applies to the java package cataloger (env: SYFT_PACKAGE_SEARCH_UNINDEXED_ARCHIVES)
search-unindexed-archives: false

# search within archives that do not contain a file index to search against (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, etc)
# note: enabling this may result in a performance impact since all discovered compressed tars will be decompressed
# note: for now this only applies to the java package cataloger (env: SYFT_PACKAGE_SEARCH_INDEXED_ARCHIVES)
search-indexed-archives: true
