Which makes no sense in classical mathematics.
Furthermore, that some subcountable sets cannot be effectively
enumerated (in constructive terms, are not countable) is provable
constructively. You yourself have accepted that, for example,
there is no (finitely describable) set containing all
(finitely describable) reals, ie that it is subcountable, but not
a set (your way of putting it).

That Brouwer stuck to his position, on this point as well as others,
simply shows that he could follow through the logic of his own
underlying principles.
This ability is not universal, it appears.
