What's so weird here?
Or where is the overuse?

If you know underlying value is a string, almost matching enum name, I guess you can do what I proposed. :-)

And what I could actually do, in a safe manner, is to rename the enums to match the underlying string, and thank IDE for making this possible.
But I'll stick to getInstance. ;-)
