Hey! I have some problems wrapping my head around why by viewModels() (part of Android KTX) requires a viewmodel factory provider as opposed to a viewmodel factory. I.e. I would prefer to be able to write val vm by viewModels { MyViewModel(arg1, arg2) }. Is there anything I’m missing where making the viewmodel factory as explicit as it is now is of great benefit?

If there had been such a thing like this val vm by viewModels { MyViewModel(arg1, arg2) }

MyViewModel(arg1, arg2) would create a new object otherwise, which should be created using ViewModelProviders.

I would rather require them to be like
val vm by viewModels<MyViewModel>(arg1, arg2)
