One would think that syadmins love native executables with no system dependencies.


Errr why?

They come with no associated bits to hook them into the rest of the system. eg no launch/process monitoring things (start-at-boot and similar, metadata and "package info" for being able to pull down upgrades along with other system packages.

Go stuff is fine for a lot of deployment cases, but in production situations the rest of the er... crap that normal packages come with does serve some important purposes. At least on *nix systems. :)
