I know it puts a great emphasis on concurrency and their model is rock solid and easy to reason about, but still, given that most of our work is web related and 95% of the time we have to manipulate various resources that persist to some database, I don't have a clear reason on why to choose go over php for example.
Most (all?) companies which developed a browser have lax policies on data privacy. At most those are inline with major directives like GDPR. However, it's not in their best interest to protect / not leverage user data. So the real discussion should've been about the set of features that would attract a sufficiently large user base who would pay ~10$ per month subscription in order to make the model sustainable on the long-term.
