src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/Access/AuthorizesRequests.php has function called authorizeResource which seems to be built around the method middleware which exists in src/Illuminate/Routing/Controller.php
At some point the middleware has changed into static method by implementing src/Illuminate/Routing/Controllers/HasMiddleware.php which is no longer compatible with the authorization trait.
I dont see this in the docs but i feel like the authorization trait should be modified to use the static middleware or we should extend the base controller.

L11 doesn't extend any controller with authroization traits anymore, because it's not the recommended approach. What you're describing is what I'd call legacy, and I don't see a reason that should be changed. But you're welcome to make a PR to the framework
