Why would a phone with 3Gb of RAM use the Go edition of Android, which is tailored specifically for devices with less that 1Gb?

Why would a phone with 3Gb of RAM use the Go edition of Android, which is tailored specifically for devices with less that 1Gb?

This says it's intended for 2 GB or less.

It's a budget phone and 3 GB is still low enough to run out easily, so Go's optimizations are probably useful. Also, maybe Android 11 features use more RAM.
