This is an excellent point. One of the main reasons for not relying on implicit, no-arg constructors is that you might
get a public constructor where one isn't intended. See [JDK-8229472](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8229472)
and  [JDK-8240688](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8240688) for what is needed if we determine that there
should not be a public constructor.

To that end, I'll go through it more carefully and comment on this specific question.
