And in Go I can build a production-ready HTTPS (not just HTTP) server with just the standard library and a few lines of code. (0 packages).

That Rust does not have standard implementations of commonly-used features (such as an async runtime) is problematic for supply chain security, since then everyone is pulling in dozens (or hundreds) of fragmented 3rd-party packages instead of working with a bulletproof standard library.

And this is exactly why Go is winning: because it's actually rather easy to write "pure Go" utilities (no dependencies outside the standard library), which statically compile to boot (avoiding shared libraries).
