If by "leading to it from a duplex receptacle", you're referring to the
disposal cord with a molded NEMA 5-15P plug, it is ok for that to be AWG14;
the disposer has a circuit breaker/thermal disconnect that will protect
the wiring from the outlet to the disposal.

If it's a line cord, as opposed to being NM wired directly into the circuit,
yes, you are correct (it likely doesn't even need to be 14AWG). I read it as
being directly (permanently) wired in with NM.

Yes, it's directly wired with NM.
