As the story goes, a couple of Google developers designed Go while waiting for one of their C++ projects to compile.

If we wanted speed compile times only, we'd be using Pascal. No need for Go. In fact, if there would be ever a case for me to use Go, I'd rather go for Pascal or Delphi. But there isn't, it just doesn't fit anywhere.
I understand the sentiment as I feel the same about Rust. I’d rather raw dog C++ than touch Rust. Doesn’t make sense and I could come up with some BS like you did and make my case anyway.
Yes, because the way Google uses C++, and the developers have well known positions against C++ anyway, coming from Plan 9/Inferno and Oberon backgrounds.
