This is a good example of how standard libraries should be. They are fine for simple use cases, and they provide the basic primitives for more complex third-party libraries to build on top of. Stuff like basic HTTP functionality. Anything more complex than the example can be streamlined or abstracted away by a third-party library. People get very opinionated about how those kinds of abstractions should work, so it's probably better for the core Go team not to pick a model and spend time building it.
