No. There is a reason

states to do tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

It also might be productive to mention that many (Linux?) distributions
(e.g. Debian, Fedora, RHEL) provide reasonably up-to-date packages for
Go, and that using the distribution's package manager may be easier,
provide better security support, and integrate better than manually
installing the official Go binary distribution.
Could you please give an example to "better security support" in a
distribution's package manager?
Part of the job of a distribution is integration. Who owns which files,
where they are stored, and who has access to them are all under the
auspices of integration. Go itself can't really be expected to manage
all of those details for every single distribution that might ever
exist. But the local package manager can, and typically does both own
and manage those details.
