I mean it feels like personal choice. Do I praise the spouse when they bring whole kitchen down while making a dish and cleaning up quickly afterwards? Or do I take it as "Well, you made mess so it was basic expectation from you to clean up fast for later use"

I would wager that most applications have plenty of object lifetimes that are not regular at all — a web server with some stateful sessions for example. So your analog doesn’t really make sense — go can’t avoid these situations at all and will significantly perform worse in these cases.
