This isn't true in my experience. Most Go codebases I've worked in wrap their errors.
If you don't believe me, go and take a look at some open-source Go projects.
Rust used to not have operator?, and then A LOT of complaints have been "we don't care, just let us pass errors up quickly"
"good luck debugging" just as easily happens simply by "if err!=nil return nil,err" boilerplate that's everywhere in Golang - but now it's annoying and takes up viewspace
