I wonder if part of the confusion here is that “backend” is pretty overloaded. There are backends like API servers, and web server backends (which at Google they call “frontends”!)

I’d guess that Go is relatively more popular than Node for API servers, and Node is more popular for web servers.

And as you note, both are probably less popular than languages like Java and PHP.

NodeJS is one of the most popular API servers out there. Express is wildly popular, more popular than ASP.net laravel according to the professional developer survey https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog...
