Description

If we have an object, and a primite type, we are still creating an anyOf. That unfortunately doesn't work well with neither ReDoc nor Swagger.

From the code below, the following OpenAPI spec is generated:

Ideally, we'd have the following schema:

                                }
                            }
                        },
                        "description": "Validation Error"
                    }
                },
                "summary": "Root"
            }
        }
    }
}

As you can see above, the type becomes an array of primitive types. This is mentioned in the Assertions and Instance Primitive Types on the JSON Schema Draft 2020-12.
