The interface cannot be used as type argument. Static member does not have a most specific implementation in the interface

I have the following implementation which uses .NET 7's static abstract member functionality:

public interface IFoo
{
    public static abstract string Bar { get; }
}
public class Foo : IFoo
{
    public static string Bar => "Bar"
}

Now, whenever I use the interface as a type parameter to a generic class, I get an error. For example, if my Program.cs looks like this:

List<IFoo> fooList = new List<Foo>();

I get the following error:

> error CS8920: The interface 'IFoo' cannot be used as type argument.
> Static member 'IFoo.Bar' does not have a most specific implementation

I guess that, for whatever reason, this is a C# restriction. I could be wrong, though, so now I'm asking: is there any way to solve this case or at least get around this restriction?

> I guess that, for whatever reason, this is a C# restriction.

Yes, the restriction is explained in the specification and the reason is type safety. Example from the linked github issue:

interface I
{
    static abstract string P { get; }
}
class C<T> where T : I
{
    void M() { Console.WriteLine(T.P); }
}
new C<I>().M(); // Error

You can "fix" it by using the static virtual method:

public interface IFoo
{
	public static virtual string Bar => throw new Exception();
}

Problem here is that now implementors do not need to implement the method:

public class Foo1 : IFoo // valid now
{
}

Another approach is to use marker interface (though it can be considered an antipattern):

public interface IAmActuallyFoo
{
	
}
public interface IFoo : IAmActuallyFoo
{
	public static abstract string Bar { get; }
}
var fooList = new List<IAmActuallyFoo>();

P.S.

Note that List<IFoo> fooList = new List<Foo>(); is invalid anyway because variance is not supported by classes (see docs, this and/or this answer).
