Sure but they can do that because they own most of the system. It's the same with e.g. Debian - all the binaries you get from the repo work with all the libraries you get from the repo because they're built as part of one big project. When a separate party wants to ship something that works on most Linux systems they have to minimize dependencies as much as possible. They don't get the luxury of being the same person who controls most of the rest of the system.
A Go binary can be scp'd as a single file to any server with the same processor architecture and just run. I've never encountered that in any other framework.
