if enum classes are inherently serializable, why doesn't it inherently have MyEnumClass::serializer ?

should I annotate

@Serializable
enum class MyEnumClass { ... }

so that I can access it?

“Inherently serializable” probably means it can be serialized and deserialized WITHOUT a generated serializer, just by the way you can interact with enums. So to have the specific kotlinx.serialization serializer you still need to have @Serializable.
