Morphology
The sense 'to be used in / to become part of' follows directly from combining 'go' (move/be applied) with 'into' (into/inside) — it describes something being placed or entering a larger whole. This compositional motion/containment logic is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words is likely to infer this meaning.
Etymology
Go into may come from the idea of putting things into a container, like ingredients into a pot or money into a project. When time or money go into something they are put there to help make it, so the phrase means 'to be used for' or 'to contribute to'.
