I agree. I enjoy go because the apps I build are simple, and all the "special features" like caching, gzip, expire headers, health checks and reverse proxying come with nginx. I picked go as my language of choice because I want to get to the root of the problem and write code for that, and do that 1 thing very well. Its not that I don't think Go can do it, it's just that I don't want to do it in Go. It feels like an abuse of the language paradigm to do everything in go.
