Yeeesss... but ultimately, Go is also a pragmatic language.

Dynamic linking is coming to Go, like it or not; because it's a feature that is needed in certain circumstances, and that has been acknowledged, even by the Go team.

And those reasons are clear and clear-cut. Dynamic linking is a net negative in most use cases, and certainly in all the use-cases that the Go developers are developing for, where reproducible builds are mandatory, code size is a tiny fraction of main memory, and code quality is very strictly maintained. When you've built a good development and deploy strategy, rebuilding and redistributing your binary is an everyday activity. There's no additional cost.

That same web page lists Linux as harmful.
