But "company wide linters" do carry over to other companies and projects. For Go its already set up, you dont have to think about it. Otherwise youll have a week (or more) discussion for every single quirk in the language and how one would format that and try to apply this to a group of people.

I'd call them more like working standards. Imagine having to discuss how to make a brick wall everytime you need to make one. Things like having a masonry cord (which can equal to a "gutter", line length restriction) and the mixture of the cement, are critical for execution in a team of more than 1 person, and not following standards will make a hacked up job.
