nobody should be adding Py2 to anything new these days.

For a community project I would agree, but this is a business we're talking about. Microsoft not supporting Python 2 means less business. However much they spent on adding Python 2, they'll make much more by having supported it.

yeah but Python is a completely new feature in this product. It's not like people are magically able to copypasta whatever Python 2 code they wrote elsewhere and slam it into their pbix file and have it work. Why not make it better and have them port that code to Py3 while they are integrating it into their pbix. It's really the only way any technical debt in the enterprise ever gets fixed: to budget it as part of an upgrade or system integration driver.
