Type 'Any' does not conform to protocol 'Equatable' when trying to conform to an equatable generic Set

I'm trying to create a base struct that supports a set of types (Int, Float, maybe string, possibly sometimes Vec4 matrix). I've built a base struct and conformed it to Hashable, made the type Equatable, but now I need to use this new struct in a Set.

This line:

struct AdjustmentSet: Set<BaseAdjustment<Any>>

where I declare the struct for the Set, is throwing

Type 'Any' does not conform to protocol 'Equatable'

Which of course is obvious in and of itself, but I don't know how to actually define a type here that works (I tried T: Equatable, Equatable, and nothing works).

struct BaseAdjustment<T: Equatable>: Hashable {

    var hashValue: Int {
        return displayName.hashValue
    }

    static func == (lhs: BaseAdjustment<T>, rhs: BaseAdjustment<T>) -> Bool {
        return lhs.displayName == rhs.displayName &&
            lhs.value == rhs.value &&
            lhs.isApplied == rhs.isApplied
    }

    var min: T?
    var max: T?
    var displayName: String = ""
    var value: T?
    var defaultValue: T?
    var isApplied: Bool = true

    init(min: T, max: T, displayName: String, defaultValue: T?) {
        self.min = min
        self.max = max
        self.displayName = displayName
        self.defaultValue = defaultValue
        self.value = defaultValue
        self.isApplied = true
    }
}

struct AdjustmentSet: Set<BaseAdjustment<Any>> {
    static var brightness   = BaseAdjustment<CGFloat>(min: 0, max: 1, displayName: "Brightness", defaultValue: 0)
    static var exposure     = BaseAdjustment<CGFloat>(min: 0, max: 1, displayName: "Exposure", defaultValue: 0)
    static var contrast     = BaseAdjustment<CGFloat>(min: 0, max: 1, displayName: "Contrast", defaultValue: 0)
}

Addendum:

I'm hopeful that with the introduction of Opaque Types in Swift 5, we can do away with this complexity by defining the set of type some BaseAdjustment.

AdjustmentSet has to itself be generic:

struct AdjustmentSet<T: Equatable>: Set<BaseAdjustment<T>> {

}

But then of course, Set is a struct, not a class or protocol, so it can't be subtyped like this.
