This is exactly the point made in this 2010 article that's probably one of the things I link to most often in online discussions.

Also, the real problem with code on the right in OP is all the state mutations made to the arguments passed into the functions.
Not too familiar with golang, but this really could use some sort of builder pattern or something, if you're going to mutate the object. Or a more functional style with just a pure function mapping an input "order" to output "toppings", etc.
There are plenty of ways to make the bad design on the right better without stuffing everything into a single function, so the whole premise is a bit of a false dichotomy.
