Because 6 provinces in 13 turns, that's why. Double province turns feel good. But 3 double province turns in a row feels amazing!

Is Gold ever better than Border Village if Wharf is in the tableau? (Not rhetorical, serious question.)

[cherdano]

Certainly you should get a gold or two once you have enough villages/wharfs to draw you entired hand every turn. Until then, I would always prefer BV->wharf.

So it depends on whether or not you have enough money.  As cherdano points out/implies, it isn't a great engine if you draw it all out with no source of economy to use it.  With that said, gold isn't always the answers to getting money.  Obvious but important.  If there are cards like coppersmith, bank, or any other ways to earn money, suddenly gold isn't as necessary (because BV/Wharf should have a lot of extra actions to play with). 

[Dsell]

I definitely did not want gold until wharves were gone. (But when they were, double gold to transition into province was real nice  )
