I think this has been a long long time ago, no? How long was it, and where did you see those numbers?
Because I've always saw Go in the general rating outside of the top 10.
The best rated games there are usually euro-style games, with more mechanics than theme, and some american-style games, with more theme than mechanics.
I don't think I've seen abstracts higher than 11 on the ratings list. From the comments I've seen in the ratings, most people don't get as invested into Go either due to the lack of theme, or when they realize the time investment necessary to improve to higher levels.
