Here's the timeline the way I think about it:

- 2008-2012 Python 3 becoming usable (byte formatting, six library)

- 2012-2016 Libraries (Django, etc) becoming compatible

- 2016-today Applications (Trac, Ansible, Chrome, etc) becoming compatible.

It took a lot of time for the ecosystem to be ready. Yes, there was a lot of stubbornness, but that's reality.

There are many things that could have been done to make the transition go smoother.
