Looking at the types of tool that Go is used for on GitHub is a decent way to understand how you might "need" it. But no, you don't really need it as you probably don't need most languages :D

A few popular types of projects taken by GitHub's Go topic page: containers, static website generator, self hosted git server, monitoring server tools, web servers, distributed key value store, reverse proxy, routers, time series database, messaging platforms.

Most projects are either web or network servers of some kind :D
