Hm, that's interesting; chrome://flags does seem to be titled "Experiments"... After, of course, you type "flags" into the address bar to get there. I guess I can see a distinction there, but it's pretty subtle.

This has nothing to do with Chrome.

This is Go (golang). It’s not even the same language used in the development of Chrome.

And the reason I make the distinction between feature flags and this is because some of the “experiments” discussed in the article are new packages / modules. So you’re not changing compiler behaviour via a flag or env var. You’re just importing a new package that isn’t yet considered stable.
