I've heard Go being advocated twice for development teams and both times the "Google" part was at the top. Second was "binary deployment and static compilation" one time, the other time it was "faster than Python and concurrency". So yeah, I believe it.
Even people who could not articulate why Go would be appropriate for a project/task were jumping on the bandwaggon because of "Google does it so it must be good". Which, well, is not a terrible heuristic for some.
