I think that's a valid perspective. But there are many of us who don't find Go harder to read than those languages (well, maybe not C++). I think we must recognise that to some extent simplicity is subjective. What is easy to one person isn't necessarily easy to another and vice-versa. Personally, I think in abstractions. So a language that represents those directly is much easier for me to reason about than one that makes me constantly translate those low-level procedural code and back again.
