You do realize that golang statically compiled binaries contain the go runtime right? So, all the concerns that you mentioned are applicable to go as well, e.g.

You do realize that golang statically compiled binaries contain the go runtime right? So, all the concerns that you mentioned are applicable to go as well, e.g. a golang app may be buggy when built with version X, while another golang app may have GC issue when built with version Y, and yet another golang app would be vulnerable unless rebuilt with version Z. [1][2][3] Don't drink the Kool-Aid, golang is just a more opinionated and much less capable cousin of Java/JVM. And for many companies, that could be the right trade-off.
