I'm not sure how you can seriously say that given the designers and the internal use at Google. But perhaps the universe excludes Google, they're too far ahead anyway.

It might be that the designers chose to focus on specific problems they found at Google, universe be damned. Maybe Go is just a good Google language.
So, universe does not include Google? Burn karma burn. =)
That's not what I meant. My reply to you needs the context of the parent comment.

To "miss the known universe" was the explicit purpose of the designers. It was supposed to be simple (whether their definition is good or not is debatable). The number of users is irrelevant.
