Why do I get the information Enum argument can be null in Java, but exhaustive when contains no null branch in Kotlin?

Code B works well, but the Code A get the following warning prompt (It can run), why?

Enum argument can be null in Java, but exhaustive when contains no null branch

I think _playState.value can be null in Code B too, do I should add null branch when I use exhaustive when in Code B?

Code A

private val _selectAction = MutableLiveData<ESelect>()
val selectAction: LiveData<ESelect> = _selectAction

selectAction.observe(mLifecycleOwner) {
   when(it) {               //Enum argument can be null in Java, but exhaustive when contains no null branch                                   
         ESelect.SelectAll    -> binding.chSelect.isChecked = true
         ESelect.UnselectAll  -> binding.chSelect.isChecked = false
         ESelect.NoAction     -> Unit
   }
}



enum class ESelect{
    SelectAll,
    UnselectAll,
    NoAction  
}

Code B

private val _playState=MutableLiveData<EPlayState>()

 override fun playOrPause(filename: String) {
        when (_playState.value) {
           EPlayState.STOPPED -> play(filename)
           EPlayState.PLAYING -> pause()
           EPlayState.PAUSED  -> resume()
        }
    }


enum class EPlayState {
    STOPPED,
    PLAYING,
    PAUSED
}
