With Node the final deliverable is an app that comes packaged with all its dependencies, and often bundled into a single .js file, which is conceptually the same as a single binary produced by Go.

Can you give an example? While theoretically possible I almost never see that in Node projects. It's not even very practical because even if you do cram everything into a single .js file you still need an external dependency on the Node runtime.
Examples would be most Node server web apps. It is standard practice to run a bundler for prod deployments.
