Self-inflicted or not, this is what Go solved. 1957 FORTRAN binaries don't really detract from what Go did: nobody is claiming Go invented self-contained binaries, we are claiming it solved problems with single-file deployments that other language ecosystems still struggle with, and I stand by this 100%.
