Compile error: static lifetime not satisfied but it is #86172

Description

@Skepfyr

I tried this code:

use std::{
    future::Future,
    marker::PhantomData,
    {pin::Pin, sync::Arc},
};

fn validate_signature() -> impl Future<Output = ()> + Send {
    let certificate_store = Cache::<CertificateRetriever>::new();
    let res = Box::pin(async move {
        certificate_store.get().await;
    });
    fn foo<T: 'static>(_c: &T) {}
    res
}

type CertificateRetriever =
    Arc<dyn Retrieve<Future = Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'static>>>>;

trait Retrieve: Send + Sync {
    type Future: Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'static;

    fn get(&self) -> Self::Future;
}

impl<R: Retrieve + ?Sized> Retrieve for Arc<R> {
    type Future = R::Future;

    fn get(&self) -> Self::Future {
        todo!()
    }
}

struct Cache<R: Retrieve> {
    marker: PhantomData<R>,
}

impl<R> Cache<R>
where
    R: Retrieve + 'static,
{
    fn new() -> Self {
        todo!()
    }
    async fn get(&self) {
        self.get_value().await
    }

    fn get_value(&self) -> R::Future {
        todo!()
    }
}

Playground

I expected to see this to compile fine, minor changes to the code cause it to compile.

Instead, I get this error:

error[E0477]: the type `Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send>>` does not fulfill the required lifetime
 --> src/lib.rs:7:28
  |
7 | fn validate_signature() -> impl Future<Output = ()> + Send {
  |                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: type must satisfy the static lifetime

error: aborting due to previous error

This may be a duplicate of #80052 but as it involves no associated constants I'm keeping it separate for now.
Compiled with rustc 1.52.1
