Because there is no good reason to use 3.x and 2.x is the natural choice that makes perfect sense?

For text editor specifically I'd imagine the improved Unicode/bytestring handling would be a benefit.

Why is 2.x the "natural choice"? I'm not saying it's a bad choice, but you seem to be treating it as a given.
