Repro Code

const a: (string | number)[] = [];
const b: number[] = [];
const c: Array<string | number> = [];
const d: Array<number> = [];

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/array-type": ["error", {"default": "simple-array"}]
  }
};

tsconfig

Expected Result

The constants a and d should fail the 'array-simple' rule and thus cause the following errors:

a: Array type using 'T[]' is forbidden for non-simple types. Use 'Array<T>'
d: Array type using 'Array<number>' is forbidden for simple types. Use 'number[]' instead.

Actual Result

All four constants fail the rule and cause errors. This means for example that neither number[] nor Array<number> is allowed, making it impossible to annotate array types without causing eslint error, if the "array-type" rule is configured with "simple-array".
