Pip statistics tells us they're not that many.

Do you have any recent statistics?
I'm guessing that most people who use Python 3 are using recent versions of pip that have caching built in, so that may skew the results a bit.
From this (last year), Python 2.6 is bigger than 3:

Since pip updates itself too, why wouldn't people using Python 2 also have newer versions?

I'm guessing a lot of people who are stuck on Python 2.6 are also stuck on old versions of pip.
Funnily enough the reason I haven't adopted using PyPy is down to their lack of Python3 support. I think you're underestimating the amount of people using Python3.
