The only way that it affects you it's because Go programs can be compiled to a static binary. So from the final user perspective you just download it and put the executable in your path.

Contrast with Python, Node, Ruby... apps where you have to install via Pip, NPM, Gems.

But the real answer it's that Go is in the top of the hype curve right now (I say this as a Go fan myself).
