You can't expect the user to remember upfront what language the tool they're using was written in and context switch the style they're expressing their intents in based on that. The Go community has consistently shown it's not very good at making well-thought out decisions. GNU is obviously the better approach here.
I think you mean "inconsistent at making good decisions", which one can expect to be quite common, but GP probably meant "consistently making bad decisions", which is different.
I'm implying that a statement pointing at and deriding A for doing X is useless or misleading, if every alternative to A does X, arguably even more so. The precise interpretation of a given X does not matter.
