You can't literally kill a FOSS project like you can with proprietary, but it can go away if nobody else wants to maintain it.
FOSS projects die all the time. You might want to write a patch here and there, but do you want to do all the DevOps, pay for hosting, manage testing, etc?

Sure, but there are enough huge companies using Go (including organisations like banks for whom a couple of developer salaries are small change) that I’m sure someone would step up to maintain it.

Maintaining a project kinda sucks.
