Except the 99% (though in my experience more like 80% of the cases where generics would be considered in other languages) of the time you are refraining yourseld from using interface{} and perhaps choosing another bad solution (lesser of the evils)

I don't think this is true in any meaningful sense. Perhaps you're talking about map() and friends, but these are so trivial that it's just as well to write out the for loop.
