The index generator is very simple and just indexes named classes, which makes it very fast with negligible impact on the build.
To spot this kind of ambiguity at generation time would require a deep analysis of the type hierarchy and caching of those hierarchies to check for overlaps. This would quickly become messy (especially for the case where we're indexing via an annotation processor) compared to checking at runtime. Also in some ways this is better handled by application ITs. The container doesn't really have enough context to definitively say "this is wrong" because it could be that the developer intended to have multiple implementations and plans to have them all injected into a list. It could also be that two implementations happen to share the same superclass or interface which would make them ambiguous if someone asked for an implementation at that particular type level, but in reality they are only ever injected as different sub-types where there is no ambiguity. Compare this to checking at the application level: when adding a replacement component you'd just need an IT confirming that new component is being used. Most of the time the replacement is there to fix a bug, so you'd expect regression tests to catch if it wasn't used. Other reasons to rewrite or replace a component are performance related, in which case you might also expect a performance related IT to verify the new implementation is having an effect.
