The thing is, while this kind of thing is available for pretty much every language, it is standard for Go. As in, if you don't gofmt your code, everyone who looks at it will bug you to format it. That's a huge difference. There's basically zero code in the wild that you'd ever want to use that /isn't/ gofmted.

Exactly the point. Go is a VERY opinionated language. You see the term "idiomatic Go" used very regularly. The Go team and community push hard for everyone to follow a set way of doing things. This means all Go code must be formatted a certain way, handle errors in a certain way, etc. People even put pre-commit hooks into their VCS system that will reject .go commits unless they are properly formatted before commit.
