Go makes you deal with the error every single time something could go wrong, so you have a chance to do the right thing and append context at every single failure path.

Also, checked exceptions are very much not like that, and being able to handle errors of a logical unit is also beneficiary (e.g. transactions). You are free to use the scope-size that makes sense for the given use case.
