Except docker is written in go. Guess they never got the memo to not use go for non-webservices...

Fair, although it has very similar constraints/goals to those listed above
Docker’s primary use case is also web services.
Ubuntu is used (mostly?) for web services. Is Ubuntu suitable to be written in Go?
Umm..what? Ubuntus primary use case was not web services, it was a user-friendly PC OS compared to the Linux variants at the time.

It's picked up a lot in the server space because of the familiarity of it, with respect to package management et all.
