Python is not in the list also, despite them using nodejs.
But when I read the following:
Based on these criteria, we narrowed our testing languages to C++17, Java, Node.js, and Go. The first three languages were already in use at American Express, whereas Go was not.
What I understand is that they did not really wanted to do a real benchmark but they decided to use Go first, and then they had to setup a kind of "bullshit neutral study" to pretend to leadership that Go was the best choice for all the languages that could fit the job.
Maybe it is the case in the end for them, but it is another subject.
