On macOS 10.12.5, released 2017-05-15:

    $ /usr/bin/python -V
    Python 2.7.10

That's a release from 2015-05-23. Latest is 2.7.13 released 2016-12-17.

And no system python3. Only through Homebrew/Macports.

I'm not sure I understand your point. They have a version of Perl from 2013 too.

Do you think that means they don't care about Python? Perhaps it's not a strategic language for them?

No one said they the provide a full Unix system or keep everything else up to date. Apple has a very narrow focus on what's important to them.
