I'm not sure what clarification I could provide given I don't know what you're missing.

You're correct (AFAIK anyway) that stack pages are mapped lazily. That doesn't change the fact that C stacks are large allocations, while Go will only allocate a very small stack (2k last I checked) per goroutine.
