I also think there is definitely credence to the idea that we read more code than we write (after all, a lot of Go's design is based on that idea too). So I definitely agree that most Go programmers will find it hard to avoid generics, even if they want. Usage of the language is very likely to change and generics are very likely to be used in a lot of Go code.
So, if we didn't think generics would make the language better, we shouldn't (and wouldn't) add them.
