Why can't mutable variable be used for smart cast?

a value of a mutable variable can change.

but the type can’t change.

It’s fixed on the type of a default value.

I think it’s safe in terms of type then.

Why can’t we use a smart cast with a mutable variable?

Why do you think the type can’t change? We have a variable of type Animal, we checked it is holding a Dog currently, but then we can set it to a Cat - we changed its runtime type.
