Why can't Provider<?> injection points use non-proxyable types with @RequestScoped providers?

      In looking into the use of javax.inject.Provider wrapped injection point values when dealing with @RequestScoped producers:

          @Inject
          @Claim(standard = Claims.iat)
          private Provider<Long> providerIAT;
      
          @Produces
          @Claim(standard = Claims.iat)
          @RequestScoped
          Long getIAT() {
              JsonWebToken jwt = getJWTPrincpal();
              if (jwt == null) {
                  System.out.printf("getIAT, null JsonWebToken\n");
                  return null;
              }
              System.out.printf("getIAT\n");
              return jwt.getIssuedAtTime();
          }
      

      I ran into the following exception:

      Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.UnproxyableResolutionException: WELD-001437: Bean type class java.lang.Long is not proxyable because it is final - {2}.
      	at org.jboss.weld.util.Proxies.getUnproxyableClassException(Proxies.java:218)
      	at org.jboss.weld.util.Proxies.getUnproxyableTypeException(Proxies.java:182)

      	at org.eclipse.microprofile.jwt.test.jaxrs.RolesEndpoint.getInjectedIssuer(RolesEndpoint.java:269)
      

      The spec is not really clear on why this should happen as the javax.inject.Provider is a proxy for the underlying type. It seems to me that this should be allowed, and that the exception I'm seeing from Weld-2.4.3.Final is a bug, but I wanted to get a clarification on why this might be disallowed.
