Which has been working great for go, right. They shipped "log" and "flag" stdlib packages, so everyone uses... well, not those. I think "logrus" and "zap" are probably the most popular, but there's a ton of fragmentation in Go because of the crappy log package, including Go itself now shipping two logging packages in the stdlib ('log/slog').

Rust on the other hand has "log" as a clear winner, and significantly less overall fragmentation there.

I think you underestimate how many programs use log and flag, if you just focus on the few (bloated) popular projects.
