Why use new $this->model() instead of new $this->model ?

Hello
I am dissecting some code and came across this,

 public function getType(): string
 {
        $model = new $this->model();

        if (property_exists($model, 'searchableType')) {
            return $model->searchableType;
        }

        return $model->getTable();
 }

in laravel-searchable/src/ModelSearchAspect.php

As far as I know, instance of ModelSearchAspect doesn’t have model method, so __call function will be executed, but not actually executed.

Actually new $this->model() is equivalent to new $this->model, so i don’t know why use new $this->model() instead of new $this->model.

Did I miss something?
