I feel like it's pretty easy to understand the hate. For example, the recent x.509 verification DoS patched in <Go1.11.3 required me to recompile, tag and redeploy bunch of services. And then also push an RPM to thousands of customer servers, which costs me CDN money :(. I would have preferred for myself, and my customers to just upgrade openssl. I am still a big fan of static binaries though, they more than make up for their downsides.
