Self hosting costs money, for this one user it would seem the options of blocking or other options are more tenable

So tell me why do people use DDoS protection? It's just money. If you run a server you should be able to eat all the cost!

Seriously do you follow through what your arguments actually mean if applied in general?

There was no actual DDoS, so no need to compare

Should every language be responsible for paying the bandwidth bills for dependencies?

You might look at the most recent comment from the Go team on the issue, there have been no additional requests or events since they last resolved it for both of the effected parties
