>then I have to be familiar with the full semantics of C# generics

Or you could research the very detailed discussion and documentation available on the topic of C# generics.

How is your suggestion not equivalent to "be familiar with full semantics of C# generics"? How does that help me with being productive using Go's implementation of generics, which has fundamentally different type system and syntax to begin with?

You're asking why general knowledge of generics and the pros and cons of various implementations would give you better understanding into the specific trade offs made by Go's implementation? You can't imagine why?
