It feels like reading satire, but it's real.

They clearly are wrestling with these issues, which to me seems like taking the feedback seriously. Taking feedback seriously doesn’t imply you have to say yes to every request. That just gives you a design-by-committee junk drawer language. We already have enough of those, so personally I’m glad the Go team sticks to its guns and says no most of the time.
