This is how you would do it without spring. I suppose there must be an advantage of using @Configuration and @Bean instead of plain java, but what is it?

They give you automatic proxied/intercepted objects for things like Transaction management, asynchronous execution, general AOP, etc. If you're not using any of that, there's probably little to no advantage to using pure Java DI. But those things are really nice to have.
