I don't think the Kind is returned either with List

The k8s REST API does not provide the Kind value. kubectl (or one of its dependencies) inserts the Kind information. Perhaps the code that figures the Kind info can be moved to client-go? Just for example, see get cmd and how it inserts the List value.

This occurs because the gvk is cleared during decoding: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/staging/src/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime/serializer/versioning/versioning.go#L256.

This is intentional. See kubernetes/kubernetes#59264 (comment) for more details.
