The way I understand "ship with" that means part of the initial install. I just don't see the demand really. Put Golang in the repro where it belongs and those people actually using it can install all the related files.

Last time I checked, Go isn't installed by default, but you can install it using dnf. If the Go version shipped by the distribution ends up lagging behind (which can happen on Fedora too), you can install a newer version using gimme.
Because fedora is a workstation and not desktop operating system. Go for ubuntu/mint/elementary/arch/deepin/neon etc. as those are catering towards desktop users.
So based on the TIOBE index Google's Go is number 15... which means if that is in the Fedora "Workstation" base then you will also need:
Java (6, 7, 8+)
C, C++ (LLVM, GCC)
Python (2.x, 3.x)
Visual Basic .NET, C# (mono, ,.net core)
JavaScript (all the browsers, all the headless interpreters)
PHP (all of em)
SQL (MySQL, Postgres)
Objective-C (1 and 2)
Delphi/Object Pascal (Free Lazarus)
Assembly language (Everything for every architecture)
MATLAB (Octave... perhaps even Wine in base in case the developer does have a MATLAB license)
Swift
Nice, bloated and inelegant. Just like a typical Linux
No. Just because it is a workstation, doesn't mean you need niche cruft installed. If anything to maintain determinism and sanity, development workstations should have *less* packages than consumer / desktops.
Though based on feedback from collegues, due to Gnome 3, no-one really installs base Fedora these days, they pretty much always do a minimal "X11" install and then add Mate or Xfce. So Fedora can add whatever they like to base and no-one will notice. I think this is also what screws up their package surveys and leads them to make daft choices like this (chucking more crap into base).
