I am not sure where you are reading, but the reason for the Collection is that it can either be a List or a Set. I only find one cast to List, which is after the associationType has been determined to be a ListAssociation in which case the contract is that it must be a List, otherwise it is a Set, unless it is not a ManyAssociation. I presume that the EntityStore implementor is responsible to return a List/Set in accordance with what was given previously, in the EntityState.setManyAssociation().
