You can say that about any technical option that isn't garbage. That observation doesn't help us learn about Go, and doesn't let us dismiss all the other arguments.

The answer to their question (to paraphrase: "why are opinions so polarised on Go?") isn't a technical one. It literally is just people arguing personal preference.

If he or she wants a technical arguments for why they should or shouldn't use Go (which is a subtly different question but results in a significantly different answer) then there is already a wealth of debate on that topic already so there's no new technical perspectives that I - nor anybody else - could actually add.
