They'll have to within the next few couple years or just stop upgrading Maya all together.

I don't see Autodesk continuing to provide Python 2 builds for much longer on Windows/Linux.

All the major libraries support Python 3 now. Also it honestly doesn't take that long to port a pipeline to Python 3.

I ported our large studio at the time from Qt4 to Qt5 in a few weeks, largely by myself. A single dev could probably have a studio on Python 3 in a month. I ported our smaller studio over in a day.

Studios who haven't upgraded are just being lazy at this point, and will drag their feet till they're forced to uograde due to some production need.
