go install isn’t really an installer. Frankly I don’t really see the point of even having that option.

More broadly speaking, you shouldn’t really be relying on your compiler to do the install. That was never the intended behaviour of a compiler. Which is why history you’d find the install options in the build scripts (eg makefile).
