Because you are attributing things that are common in enterprise environments (Bazel, monorepos, and Protobufs) to Go. It's fine if you hate these things, but saying that these are the defaults of Go isn't right, and I bet that's why people are hating on you. There's nothing default about them in Go. If you work with enterprise-y code, it shouldn't be surprising that a lot of them are going to follow Google's steps.
