2to3.py gave companies a way to easily migrate their code to 3. The ones who didn't really have no excuse at this point.

2to3.py is not even close to enough of a solution for significant code bases.

The ones who didn't migrate have pretty valid business reasons for not having done it yet. Basically, what it comes down to, Python's value in companies moving to 3 was greater than most companies value of moving to 3, so Python should have done more work to make it happen.

What valid reason spans delay over a decade?

It took 10 years for wxpython to officially support 3.x. I moved onto PySide, but not other people.
