The important point is it is used far less - inheritance is impossible to get away from in most OOP programs, but you can't say the same for embedding in Go programs, it is used, but not as often.

It is only impossible because you cannot throw away standard libraries.

COM/UWP have proven you don't need to have it available.

They get lots of hate due to their underlying complexity, however they are the main Windows APIs since Vista, as COM took over the Longhorn vision.
