I don't think the tooling is why there is a perceived "Go vs Rust" culture, I think that's due to (somewhat) overlapping use cases, or more probably that they were developed and came out around roughly the same time. There really doesn't need to be a "Go vs Rust" culture though.
I think it should be obvious to most people that Go had a big influence on Rust and other modern languages for the benefit of having unified tooling, formatter, linter, etc.

I do not believe that is the case. You have to invoke `gofmt` or `go fmt` on the project.
You may hook it to precommit, or your editor might be configured to automatically run it on save, but afaik neither `go build` nor `go run` will auto-format.
