Go's lightweight threading system makes this really appealing. Imagine being able to spawn a million threads in Python.

I doubt goroutine would be significantly faster than asyncio in python 3

Some people prefer preemptive to cooperative multitasking. I'll happily take the performance hit.

The performance hit will be negligible at worst in the face of I/O, and it will be much faster for CPU intensive tasks, especially in the presence of multiple cores. But I absolutely agree that async I/O is much friendlier in Go than in Python.
