The opposite seems true (regarding Go being over-fitted to Google problems).

It was designed for Google, but Google has not adopted it widely. Google is still heavily C++ and Java after all these years. The outside world loves it way more. Kubernetes isn't used internally at Google (except Cloud, which is not any different from any other cloud provider) though it's sponsored by Google. Bazel is probably in a similar boat.

Being designed to solve Google problems doesn't mean that it actually solves Google problems well, or that Google thinks it does.

I became introduced to Go through my startup and my experience was it a delight to work with in very small teams.
