You're both right. I'm paraphrasing, but the FAQ says "We will add generics if somebody can demonstrate that the value of doing so would outweigh the complexity it would add". I'm assuming nobody has demonstrated that, so they haven't added them.

Should really read "We will add generics if somebody can perform the impossible and convince the very stubborn and opinionated Go leadership that the value of doing would outweigh the complexity it would add".
