If go wasn't a strongly opiniated language curated by the core team, I fear it wouldn't be the same go. Example: I don't like all the things gofmt does, but if I accept what gofmt gives me, I can learn to live with it, and eventually be super happy :) If go isn't opinionated, then what's the point? Whether owned by Google or a foundation, if the core team isn't small and opiniated, then aren't we just reinventing C++, hehe :) Disclaimer: I work for Google, this is my personal opinion. (I actually haven't used golang since joining Google, but that's a different story)
