I think it is from Non-Go users who would use Go if only it had generics.

Some of it, probably. But some are probably using Go out of necessity (your company enforces Go), or because they still think Go is their best pragmatic option, lack of generics notwithstanding.

I do competitive programming using Go and sorely miss "generics" so I'm pretty sure that your thought is not entirely correct.
