IMO this would be a bet that the Go team does not implement generics in the vague near future. There's a difference between the Go team making a fundamental design judgment against generics vs the Go team feeling that no super-obvious proposition which balances all the values of Go has been put forth. I think it's a matter of time and resource.

They are just against features with a high cost to the community, generics are pricey as they can go quite wrong. They are now entertaining ways of adding them while limiting their downsides.
