I often don’t understand the Go teams obsession with compile times, but I’ve never worked on large Java or C++ code based that take forever to compile. I mostly want them to optimize for runtime performance even at the expense of compile time, but this does not seem popular with the core team.

You're right. You need to have worked on Google scale C++ programs to understand and acquire the obsession.
