Argument 2 passed to Drupal\Console\Command\Test\RunCommand::__construct() must be an instance of Drupal\simpletest\TestDiscovery

Question

I'm trying to install drupal console with Drupal 9.0.5, so I ran this command:

composer require drupal/console:~1.0

However when I try run the drupal command with any arguments I get this error:

root@6dc17ce2d4bf:/opt/drupal# drupal --version

I don't really understand this error. Any ideas what might cause this?

This is really just kiamlaluno's answer, but they never posted it so I'll just copy it here verbatim:

Drupal Console has not been updated to run on new Drupal versions. It's even less compatible with Drupal 9, as many classes or methods have been removed.
