"Willing" is an interesting word choice. There was quite a bit of resistance in the Python world despite the clear benefits. (2.x really could not be fixed, because the semantics were fundamentally broken in many places.)

It's open source.

Any one ( and I'm sure a few have tried) can fork 2.x and keep using it.

3.x is remarkably easy , you can probably onboard a non programer to Python in a month.

They have tried and succeeded: https://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.7/

I still consider the result "broken".
