I have generic class with constraint where T : IEnumerable<object>. I expected that I can use any type instead object. But when I try to create an instance of my generic class with List<SomeValueType> Visual studio gives me an error like There is no implicit reference conversion from System.Collections.Generic.List<ConsoleApp.Program.ValueType>' to System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<object>'. So my question is: why I can't use both value and reference types in this case even though they're both inherited from object?

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var example1 = new GenericClass<List<ReferenceType>>(); // it's ok

        // There is no implicit reference conversion 
        // from 'System.Collections.Generic.List<ConsoleApp.Program.ValueType>'
        // to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<object>'
        var example2 = new GenericClass<List<ValueType>>(); 
    }

    public class GenericClass<T> where T : IEnumerable<object>
    {

    }

    public class ReferenceType
    {

    }

    public struct ValueType
    {

    }
