This doesn't say much because people generally throw interface{} everywhere.

Go is used because Google and that's it.

No, they don't. They didn't before generics and they do even less now.

You can tell this is an accusation thrown around by non-Go programmers because frankly, throwing around a lot of interface{} was always really inconvenient. It's not something the language trains you to do... it's something you get punished for, really quite hard.
