TS2322: Why symbol type is not allowed with enum type?

[shamhub]

Instead of using constant variable declarations,

const directionUp: symbol = Symbol();
const directionDown: symbol = Symbol();
const directionLeft: symbol = Symbol();
const directionRight: symbol = Symbol();

it make more sense to use enum type(shown below):

enum Direction {
    Up = Symbol(),
    Down = Symbol(),
    Left = Symbol(),
    Right = Symbol(),
}

Why TypeScript does not allow using symbol type with enum type?

Looks like you want #18408.
