A single goose is a goose, but you get a group together and it becomes geese. A single moose is a moose, you get two plus and it’s still moose?

Probably because the word is derived from a Native American Algonquin language. Goose comes from Indo-European languages. Basically it has to do with the language in which the word originated.
