Use of pointers

[avlapp]

func (msg Message) Bytes() []byte)
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/scgolang/osc#Message.Bytes

As example.

I see other packages using a pointer there:
func (msg *Message) Bytes() []byte)

Why would the use of pointer receivers be a good thing when the method doesn't modify the struct?

I'm fairly new to Go and pointers. I found this: https://youtu.be/29LLRKIL_TI?t=888
So I think your point is valid and on top of that, pointers are not concurrency safe.
