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".
