D literally can't even maintain backwards compatibility between minor version updates not to mention a big part of the D community left when D reinvented itself with D2. Among languages it's probably the one that is constantly in a state of flux.
what's a big project built with D? I feel it gets mentioned a lot on hackernews but I've never run into any project using it in the wild.

That’s whataboutism - no language is perfect, but given when go released it’s fair to hold them to a higher standard than languages what were designed 25 years earlier. As an aside - D, Zig, Rust, even typescript got most of the lessons learned from C right

You added the word "want", the OP said "need". "We don't ever expect to add X" implies "we don't think we need X."
Clearly we don’t need this feature. Just because the Go team decides to implement a feature doesn’t imply that they must think that the language needs the feature. You’re searching for contradictions where none exist.

Ah, then they’re implementing needless features! What’s worse! lol

Thankfully we already have Java, so using Go is really for the scenarios where it cannot be avoided.
Thankfully some of us have taste.

Most programming language features are not strictly needed. They’re just quality of life improvements that are on balance a good addition to the language.

Sure, but if you take that view, everything above assembly is a QOL improvement and we really don't need anything. That definition is pretty useless though.
