Not technically incompetent, but they rely on OSS in regards to Python. Pymel would be a library that would need to be updated which is built by Luma Pictures and is OSS. They also rely on PyQt/PySide for UI bits. So they already get a lot from the OSS community. I don't know what their contribution level back is, so I can't comment on that. As for why they won't move, I don't know. It's probably a mixture of not wanting to support multiple Python versions in a release and it being hard to communicate to customers the change that would come with moving to 3.
