Just reading the abstract, it talks about finding a number of bugs (across millions of lines of code) but I didn't see any claims that there would be fewer bugs in a different language.

Go obviously does not stop you from writing buggy code. Neither does rust or zig or whatever. Does go make it more likely to have bugs? Or a specific class of bug? Like, the real world is about trade offs.
