Could be cultural. Go has a lot of exposure in the DevOps / cloud infrastructure space. Lots of stuff like k8s and Terraform (and its providers) are written in Go, and it competes with Python in popularity for internal tooling.

Yeah exactly. I wrote one orchestration tool in Python, another department used Go. Right now I'm using nodejs simply because that's the main project language and all the developers can help out :)
