Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

core

Is this a regression?

No

Description

Consider the example injection of the ElementRef with a specified generic type:

  // OK: hostEl is of type ElementRef<HTMLElement>, as expected
  hostElExplicit = inject<ElementRef<HTMLElement>>(ElementRef);

  // KO: hostEl is of type ElementRef<any>, expecting ElementRef<HTMLElement>
  hostElInfered = inject(ElementRef<HTMLElement>);

Ideally inject(ElementRef<HTMLElement>) would have the return type of ElementRef<HTMLElement>.

The fix is likely around the type definition for the ProviderToken.
