Is that really a general problem in the Go community?

I ask because I've seen people explaining the tradeoffs Go makes pretty clearly online without any rudeness or condescending attitude.

I don't know what it's like now. Rob Pike in particular made a lot of noise like this early on. There was a lot of parrotting of that, so it was hard to have a serious conversation. It seems like it's still getting play but I don't know how widespread that is today.
