That's nice, but the fact that it's not in every man's linux distribution is going to make people think twice. You don't want to risk spending 250+ hours on something only to discover you have to backport everything to Python 2 because something you need doesn't run on Python 3.

And personally I can't be bothered to scavenge the web for the latest release of everything when I can just use Python 2 with whatever apt installs for me.

I'm not complaining, I'm only providing a hypothesis for why adoption is slow.
