This just isn't how it happened. The Go team never said that they were opposed to generics. Their stance was (i) that it was not a top priority and (ii) that it was difficult problem and they'd take the time to implement generics correctly.
The idea that this is about one group of people finally proving that they're 'right' is a distortion based on viewing events though the lens of snarky comments on the internet.
