Agreed. In concrete terms, Mozilla is a non-profit, whereas
Google is not. Google can easily drop (or reduce) support for
Go if it doesn't serve whatever business goal they want. Or
alternatively they might not be interested in evolving Go (or
Go's toolchain) in directions that are useful for other people,
but have little value for their business or technical goals.
And Google will be right in abandoning an unsuccessful project.
Supporting such project wouldn't benefit anyone and reusing
resources in other promising projects is to the benefit of
everyone.
