It’s not semver, but I’m willing to bet (although I haven’t checked) that there were probably a few leftover system apps that didn’t get moved to Python 3 before 12.0 (many of the features were delayed, I’m guessing due to the pandemic their work schedule has been disrupted since Big Sur was feature frozen).

But see, if that is the case... Apple is a large company with lots of resources and knowledge of their internal roadmap. If it took Apple's own internal developers until now to remove their dependence on Python, then third-party developers and their users should get at least until next fall anyway.
(I'm not defending the use of Python 2. I'm arguing that, as a general rule, if something takes the vendor X time, users should be given X + Y time.)
