Spring works really nice when working on monolithic services, but Golang is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum - Go is really good for microservices.

Spring is more like traditional application development, where you revisit your code multiple time during its long life cycle. In comparison, Golang is more like spit it out fast and forget. Its syntax is so dumb that you can’t possibly misread the code from any angle, so maintenance is also brain dead simple.

In this aspect, using frameworks in Golang simply defeats the point of using the language, because frameworks make codes harder to read. The language is to be used like C, where (almost) everything is manual and explicit.

That's very much a matter of opinion. In my opinion, making every manual and explicit makes it hard to read if you're trying to do anything vaguely high level, because you lose the forest for the trees.
