That's 100% on Google. If they (a freaking search company) didn't name it "go" (an extremely common english word which makes searching harder) then it could just be searched instead of using things like 'golang' (was/might still be common name for the language in repositories) that are clearly about the programming language. I have the same conceptual gripe with other ones that use fairly common single words like "rust", "swift", and "python", but I don't (yet) use the first two to know how big of an issue it is, and I can usually use "py" instead to exclude any chance of snakes.

that "tradition" goes all the way to C sadly. But hey at least cmdline is short...
