Because the Go people wrote the old Plan 9 compiler?
-spc (That'd be my guess ... )

That'd be also kinda my guess; but also, I understand they wrote it with certain goals on purpose (like fast compilation, more strictness in certain areas, some certain additional features like struct embedding, and more), and they wanted still to benefit from those; and finally, if I understand correctly, they kinda wrote it originally before the standard existed yet (and thus maybe the standard promotion too?). That said, they're still constantly working on the tools, so there's also chance it might just be a regression.

But, again, all of that is also just how I can guess.
