"It's not like you don't see players chopping at goalies when they are covering the puck." I guess I could restate this better. You can get a slashing penalty as a goalie when you are in the crease, just as a player can get a penalty for slashing the goalie in the crease, inside or out. Every other rule applies the same, the only difference is that goaltender interference changes the stipulation, because most time, if you hit a goalie, he's trying to make a save. You could also hold a goalie and drag him out of the crease - you wouldn't get a holding penalty, you'd get a goaltender interference penalty.
