Thanks, but we can't make that change now. It would break the Go 1 compatibility guarantee (https://go.dev/s/go1compat).
Comment From: seankhliao
runtime/debug.BuildInfo.Path is the main package path
runtime/debug.BuildInfo.Main.Path is the main module path
they are only equal when the main package is at the root of the module.

@seankhliao then, would it be able to clarify it in the comments documentation ?
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/90bcc552c0347948166817a602f612f219bc980c/src/runtime/debug/mod.go#L46-L48
path of the main package
This is misleading
Comment From: ianlancetaylor
What is misleading about it? How would you write it? Thanks.
Comment From: Malix-Labs
runtime/debug.BuildInfo.Path:
Path is the package path of the current package for the binary
As runtime/debug.BuildInfo.Main.Path is "the package path of the main package for the binary"
If i'm not mistaken, of course
Comment From: seankhliao
there is no "current" package, and Main.Path is not a package path
Comment From: Malix-Labs
Do you mean the difference is between package and modules ?
