Describe the bug

This may be related to golang/vscode-go#1283
My issue is more about why this is happening. Maybe gopls is a better place to open this issue.

I have a dependency: github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-go-api-proxy
That has a dependency: github.com/kataras/iris/v12 v12.1.8
And that has a dependency: golang.org/x/text v0.3.2
But, I don't want to use golang.org/x/text v0.3.2 since it has a known issue as you can see here

When I build and run from the terminal, there is no issue. When I use GoLand, there doesn't seem to be an issue there either; however, when I open the project on VS Code, I get error messages such as:
go.sum is out of sync with go.mod. Please update it by applying the quick fix.go list

and the only solutions I get (which don't work) are exactly the same offered on golang/vscode-go#1283

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the repo I created from here
2. Open VS Code
3. See go.mod
