For some applications this matters, but for a typical web server or web architecture, which is what go is optimized for, rarely if ever would a couple MB of binary size make a difference.

Especially when tossed in a container for most workloads nowadays. You can have a full go binary statically linked and copied into a FROM SCRATCH docker image and it just works, and is miniscule.
For example, that's all that the production image of NATS Streaming is - https://github.com/nats-io/nats-streaming-docker/blob/024b04...
