Go's standard library works for Go because it has a rather sharp focus on implementing web services. It's worthless for implementing a GUI application, or a particle physics simulation, or a PID-1 daemon.
Rust has a much broader aim, so a stdlib accommodating all of its usecases would be as comically huge as Python's, with all the problems that come from that.
It's also good for crypto, image processing, logging, file compression, and other commonly useful things. Go does have an emphasis on network services but is not limited to that.
"a stdlib accommodating all of its usecases would be as comically huge as Python's, with all the problems that come from that."
That's a straw man. I don't want a stdlib like Python's, I want one like Go's.
