Releasing a new Python VM that only targets Python 2 certainly isn't going to help improve that statistic

Dropbox's interest is in getting things done, not pushing Python3.

Then why aren't they using an existing python jit implementation if they want to get things done? Numba or pypy?

These goals don't have to be mutually exclusive. It would be a bit of a gamble for sure but if they had gone with Python3 they may have nudged the community to switch by the time the engine is ready for production some time in the future.
