Python 2 is pretty dead at this point.

2.x dead? Not really: lots of 10 year old projects are in maintenance or even actively developed.

Migrating several hundred thousand lines of code bases with few people and many dependencies (some of them not maintained, not ported to 3) are not trivial.

These will stay for years still. Actually it is very sad, that significant new tools are basically useless on 2.x (e.g. vscode: lots of waiting on completion, or jumping to definition - if it works at all).
