Well this way East indeed has a stopper in ♥.....I am not a fan of 3NT bid either.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

GIB plays "disciplined" weak 2s, so it's possible that North's simulations only gives you AQxxxx, so it "didn't matter" which card he played.

I mean that it doesnt have the ♥ stopper, especially assuming disciplined 2♥ .....

GIB also allows for 5-card weak 2's. If East has Qxx or Ax, then its card didn't matter.
The 3NT bid comes from a rule with this description:
; if you can't find anything better to do, take a chance on 3N with values,
; even without stoppers. Of course partner (and opponents) will assume you
; have them
I don't think 4♠ does any better than 3NT on this layout.
