>whatever haphazardly written Go code you happened to find
Well, if the Go stdlib is haphazardly written and unidiomatic then I think the burden is on you to demonstrate that idiomatic Go, as per your definition, exists.

I'll boil it down to one sentence: Go forces programmers to use (T, error) when it is not appropriate, and Go would be better if it did not.
