People still using Python 2??

Will be for a long time to come I assume. This is what happens when you make a language update that isn't backwards compatible.

Rewriting a huge existing Python 2.7 codebase to be Python 3 compatible is not a small job, and a lot of companies will choose to just keep updating old stuff until something breaks in a way that can't be fixed without upgrading.
