Would you please give an example on how are Google's company-strategic goals making Go platform-specific, or hampered in any way?

Please note that I am not demeaning your statement. It's a legitimate curiosity on my side.

One example that comes to mind is Go dependency management. For a long time (and still?) Go had no way to do versioned dependency. Obviously this is no problem for Google which reportedly build from HEAD, but this shows Google-bias in Go development.

It does not show a strategic agenda that influences the language's governance, it only shows that Google was blind in that area.
