Having worked with the people doing those standard libraries, you're pulling justifications out of your butt for bad practices.

Just as a start: variables names should always be clear by context. You only see the one letter ones if its literally the next line or similar use case. Also, bare interface{} should basically never be the case for a function signature.

None of the code you've described thus far would pass a proper review.

Code bases in reality still do what I'm describing, and they pass code reviews. Kubernetes is one example of the atrocities caused by the language.
