Curious why you say Go comes with a lot out of the box. Compared to Python or Java I find it pretty lacking. And even more so when you include 3rd party libraries and the fact that Go has no package manager ala. pip or Ivy.
Android Studio is a pretty mature well documented way to make apps so if anyone is truly determined and has some programming experience, making a simple Android app in a weekend is doable. I've heard (but don't know personally) that the iOS toolchain is even easier to use.
That all aside, nobody will WANT to spend their weekend making Ubuntu apps when nobody has a phone to run them.

A not-so basic package manager is baked into the language and its official tooling. It just behaves like a Unix application, so instead of "pip uninstall package" you run "rm -rf $GOPATH/src/github.com/author/package" (or do it in your app's vendor directory, instead of using a virtualenv).
