I'm surprised they didn't mention #1 implies a cost benefit, or maybe they don't use it at scale in certain areas that it matters. I worked with one company that switched from Python to Go. They went from twenty-one instances of their load-balanced API servers to seven, saving a few thousand dollars every month.
This is my favorite advantage of Go. It does the work faster with fewer resources. I know there are a lot of aesthetic complaints about the language but I don't care.
