Isn't it MORE satisfying to whack the goblin in one hit than always needing two? Even if you sometimes miss first? And the "miss" should mean dodge / block / armor soak.

Imagine a cleave where you kill 3 goblins vs. a cleave only wounding 3 goblins to half health. Which makes a greatsword fighter feel more badass? And speaking of that cleave, goblins should remain weak but come in greater numbers. That's the whole point of 5e that weaker monsters can still hit you and be threatening in great numbers for even high level characters. I want a horde of goblins to AoE.
