If it is defined exactly like you showed, `named`, `newInstance` couldn't construct it.

The differences are also layed out in the JavaDoc of those two methods. Things created with `named` for example are not decorated and not extensible.

For using `newInstance` you could for example change the signature to
```abstract class MyNamedType @Inject constructor() : Named```
then both methods can construct such objects.

I think the Javadoc does a good job of explaining the difference between the two methods, mostly that `named` has extra validation and also states
```Objects created using this method are not decorated or extensible.```
whereas `newInstance` states
```Objects created using this method are decorated and extensible```
