Why is the plugin generating equals like this?

class Foo(val name: String) {

    override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean {
        if (this === other) return true
        if (javaClass != other?.javaClass) return false
        
        other as Foo

        if (name != other.name) return false

        return true
    }
}

Why not simply using is?

override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean {
    if (this === other) return true
    if (other !is Foo) return false

    if (name != other.name) return false

    return true
}

Is there a catch?
