> By enforcing a single, standardized format via the built-in gofmt tool

I'd read about this many times before I started with Go so I was particularly disappointed to learn that it was a lie. The most important task of a code formatter is to break long lines; it doesn't do it. It doesn't even have an option to do it!

Because long lines aren't against the style guide for some reason.
