It's a similar experience in Go, specially because imports are done by URL and major versions higher than v1.x are forced to change it to add a suffix `/vN` at the end.

Although this is true, any large ecosystem will have some popular packages not holding to semver properly. Also, the biggest downside is when your `>=v1` depends - indirectly usually - on a `v0` dependency which is allowed to do breaking changes.
