Review Comment:
From what I remember, for versions >= 0.16.1 pyarrow would automatically
cast a categorical type to what the requested type of `s` was and the result
was the correct type without this elif block. This was the comment where it was
brought up https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/26585#discussion_r401853266
I remember testing it out locally without this, but that was quite a while
ago so something might have changed.
