That some companies are using it is despite the poor fit of golang, not because of it.

  That's true, I agree that just because many companies are using a language, it doesn't mean that it's good or suitable. It would be argumentum ad populum, "a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition must be true because many or most people believe it". I suppose somewhere in the list are some companies that qualify as "enterprise", which might argue against the claim that Go is "not ready for enterpise systems".

    You'd be surprised at their arguments. I've seen golang being used in areas where it is a terrible fit for, and when I ask about why they think it's a good fit, the arguments are very vague, hand wavy, and show the lack of experience (and these are multi-million dollar companies).
