Can anyone explain why this snippet compiles (and executes) without errors? (get operator in kotlin is strictly typed)

fun main() {
    val intList: List<Int> = listOf(1, 2)
    val stringMap: Map<String, String> = mapOf("abc" to "xyz")
    val x = intList.associateWith { map[it] } // should be an error, because key is String, and not Int
    println(x)
}

Kotlin: 1.4.21

It was an error before 1.4, but became a warning due to the new type inference. It will be an error again in 1.5.
