I like the idea, but I can't imagine using it for a few reasons.
1. There's a catch-22. In order to fetch binaries you need to first install eget.
2. You need to trust eget to not be (or become) malicious.
Perhaps #1 can be resolved by providing it as a proxy service and not an executable. For example, "wget eget.net/gopls@latest" which then usings eget on the server to grab/cache the binary and send it back.
Then again, that would mean putting even more trust in eget.
