As the machine keep the used tickets, what proof of payment
do they expect you to have?

The barriers at KXStP don't eat the tickets - it's an
out-of-station interchange.

I thought that you had to exit at specific barriers for this
to happen?

In any case, the barriers can probably be set to return all
tickets - I once noticed my single ticket didn't get swallowed
when leaving the last station before a section of line closed
for engineering works, and assumed this was so that passengers
could keep their tickets to use on the replacement buses.

A pax expecting his ticket to be kept by the machine could
easily walk through and not pick it up.

No, he couldn't. If the ticket is being returned, the gate doesn't open
until the ticket is retrieved by the passenger.
