Having generics isn't related to excessive abstractions. One is a language feature and the other is program architecture. It's definitely not an exclusive trade-off.

I'm sure there are plenty of Go apps with bad architecture, where a tiny dose of generics would greatly help.

I've seen the situation in C++ where templates led to excessive templates, simply because they were "neat." As a result, I found myself debugging code that had no source code whatsoever.
