You are basically arguing that sr.ht is taking a "principled stand" against google. If that is what they are doing they should just say that and not pretend like there were no other options.

I'm ok with saying "google should do better!" But the compromise solution from the Go team seems reasonable to solve the immediate issue in a way that doesn't harm end users. The author should at least address why they have chosen the more extreme solution.

Or, we should not assume that Google's stance is correct, that sr.ht is expected to explain themselves. We should ask why is Google continuing on that path of DOSing upstream servers by default, not willing to use standards for properly using network resources, expecting all of them to do all the work.
