I think it's because go's community sticks close to the standard library:

e.g. iirc. Rust has multiple ways of handling Strings while Go has (to a big extent) only one (thanks to the GC)

No, none outside of stdlib anyway in the way you're probably thinking of.

There are specialized constructs which live in third-party crates, such as rope implementations and stack-to-heap growable Strings, but those would have to exist as external modules in Go as well.
