It’s not the routing algorithm, but routing builder. It doesn’t work as you expect, and rightfully we should employ DslMarker to prevent such problems. Thanks for an example!
What’s happening here is that contentType is not bound to get but instead to the routing root (because of receiver match rules). What in fact happens is this:

routing {
            contentType(ContentType.Application.Json) {
                println("JSON, as expected")
            }
            contentType(ContentType.Video.MP4) {
                println("Will never happen, we are safe")
                throw Exception("Oops, I didn't expected this branch to be executed!!")
            }
        get("/v1") {
            call.respond(JsonResponse(model))
        }
