There’s tons of hidden conditional logic in the Python string multiplication operator. It’s implemented via the C function unicode_repeat which handles all the conditional logic.

If you're talking about assembly then every single statement in python will involve hidden conditions.

I was talking about the idea behind the code - that map is a pythonic shorthand for a bunch of if-then statements, it still expresses conditionals. While using string multiplication doesn't.
