Why is it? Or rather what limitations are there to enforced by go compiler that won’t allow someone to implement their own hash map that can free memory with the same generic possibilities, even with the recent introduction of generics?

Seems like I was wrong about my assumptions about Go's generics - it does seem like they're specialized at build time and it is possible to operate over generic values rather than fat pointers. So it is possible to implement a fully featured hash map without extra pointer hopping now. I stand corrected.
