gold is applied as a micro-thin layer over the entirety of the circuits to protect them from oxidation.

Gold is not on "the entirety" of the board, just the connector contacts. The rest of the copper traces can either be protected with tin (its cheaper) and/or a "mask" of green insulating varnish.
