The Java type system is broken (2018) (wouter.coekaerts.be)

You can tell it's broken when the Collections framework and JavaFX (a part of JDK before Java 11) could not use the capture conversion themselves.

The only solution seems to be to drop the type system in the places where it can't be used.
