Not even every language in that study supports concurrency, as the study itself points out. I hear a lot of praise for Go because of how much people like doing concurrency with it. The fact that they observed a higher rate of concurrency bugs in Go could just as easily support the interpretation that Go is good for concurrency as it does the interpretation is bad for concurrency.

Since Go makes concurrency easier and encourages its use, there’s going to be a lot more concurrency bugs. By contrast languages like Python don’t even have proper parallel threads, so fewer people will write concurrent python programs and fewer bugs will arise. This is a confounding factor found in one sort or another throughout the survey.

It’s good that they did this research but unfortunately they couldn’t account for everything.

They talk about this, and did do some sort of things to account for it a little. That's why the conclude that more so then overall defect, languages are more correlated to categories of defects.
