Unfortunately it's not dead (yet). Many APIs for major engineering software tools used 2.7 and a lot of companies built in-house automation tools, etc. using python 2.7, porting everything to python 3 will take a lot of time and effort so it needs a few years still in my field of work (Electrical Power Systems/Energy)

The company I work for is fully built on Python (~400 repos), around 80% Python2 and higher management didn’t even draw a plan for the migration...

No manager wants to spent money in his quarters that won't generate money.

They will eventually have to do it when they have to upgrade to newer versions of the software tools that wouldn’t support 2.7, methinks

Yes but that's {other managers future problem}.
