This situation has improved over the last 9+ years or so. I agree that's where things started and I felt much the same way at the time.
That said, I still strongly dislike that the Go ecosystem conflates a library's repo URL with it's in-language URI. Having `github.com` everywhere in your sourcecode just ignores other use-cases for dependency management, like running an artifactory in an enterprise setting. My point being: there's still room for improvement.
