Language idioms are not set in stone (mostly). You have functions, variables, containers etc there. It's not like they invented a whole new way of computing. Not unreasonable for people to ask for some decent ideas that solve problems in other similar languages. Like generics.
Maybe if enough people complains about their toaster's pizza heating capabilities, manufacturers would release pizza heating toasters. Or at least explain why, technically, it's not a good idea. Not yell people "you would burn down your houses! idiots! we are looking after you."
At least it feels like that to me, the condescending tone of designers / advocates is irritating in Go land.
