I'm interested in knowing whether there's something intrinsic to Go that encourages such a culture.

IMO, it might be due to the fact that Go mod came rather late in the game, while NPM was introduced near the beginning of NodeJS. But it might be more related to Go's target audience being more low-level, where such tools are less ubiquitous?
