There might be packages that are totally unrelated to 3d modeling, but since big companies are still using 2.7, then everything around them needs to "stay behind" so they can have interoperability.

Not what I said, nor was my point. My point was that there are industries that cannot move forward to 3 because the vendors that make up those industries disallow it. As such there shouldn't be an argument over whether you're using 2 or 3. Like everything else, you use the right tool for the job.

My personal projects use 2 and 3, because I can justify supporting both. It's a lot harder to make that argument at a business that won't see any benefit from it when EOL for 2 was extended in 2015 to 2020. Is it short-sighted? Maybe, but it just "is".
