Typing, how come that :int is not ensuring int parameter?

You may be confusing Python with some other programming language 
previously-learned. We need to 're-wire' the way your mind is working 
because whilst you are not-wrong for that-language, you are not-right 
for Python.

So, I'm not going to answer your question directly, but to offer you a 
learning-path:-

What did mypy (or...) say, when you ran tests against the source-code?
(Typing is no use without such a testing regime!)

Have you read the docs for Typing?
- and for extra bonus-points, the numerous PEPs (proposals and accepted) 
related to how Python implements Typing?
(that done, you will likely answer your own question, and accumulate 
some useful learning about Python - at both the practical and 
philosophical/idiomatic levels)
