Are you sure about that? It might actually harm google enough that they respond by giving into some demands.

Other than for commercial tool vendors like JetBrains, development tool improvements are rarely business critical in that way.

Go in particular is known for stability. In the short term, descoping or delaying Go releases is unlikely to matter to any business goal. Language and SDK improvements are for improving the ecosystem in the long term.
