You really ought to research a topic before arguing.

For the average user, both GitHub and default $GOPROXY would have to be down. For me, my CI runs where my (and code I've cloned) lives, self-hosted GitLab.

Oh my god, you've figured out caching!? Will wonders never cease! Truly, Golang is the ecosystem of the future free from all centralized dependencies.
I accept your concession.
Again, you're not special as you'd like to imagine: https://devpi.net/docs/devpi/devpi/latest/%2Bd/index.html
Again, you've missed the mark: a mirror doesn't make a system decentralized not turn a package repository into URIs for code.
