I thought it depended on libc by default?

You might find https://mt165.co.uk/blog/static-link-go/ useful, but a quick tl;dr:

Go binaries are statically linked by default if they do not call out to any C functions.

Go will automatically switch to dynamic linking if you need to call out to C functions. There are some parts of the standard library that do this internally, and so many folks assume that go is dynamically linked by default.
