Citation needed. It may simply be that those code bases are doing relatively trivial work compared to large programs in other languages, where bugs are more likely to happen simply due to code size. Even in this thread another poster wrote:

I've seen production golang code where errors were being silently overwritten. Much, much worse than anything in Java or C# where exceptions are explicitly swallowed.
