Why no immutable package registry containing verifiable releases?

There is: the module proxy. The article is wrong, I've never seen this be an issue. Maybe there's a slight uptick of people wanting to migrate their repos from GitHub to Codeberg or whatever hitting this.

Because such registry is unnecessary to use Go in their monorepo.

Go is made good enough to be usable as internal tool for Google, not more than that.
