Not to mention, nearly 100% of companies using Python. The 5% of Python users on Py3 seem to be mostly hobbyists.

important platforms don't support py3, e.g. AWS Lambda, AppEngine. Some new libs (TF) start out in py2 only

Py2 won't be supported (for free) in ~3 years. Will cost extra (time or $) to maintain Py2 after then.

I also don't think that porting over Py2 to 3 is that bad unless you have a dependency that is Py2 only.
