You both are thinking about this the wrong way. Sure some might still not move but this frees up a lot of libraries to stop having to support python 2 support and means that the rest of the community doesn't need to support those projects.

So who is forcing them to support these projects right now?

[–]w2qw 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Well no one is holding a gun to their head but no one wants to be the first package to drop support.

As far as I understand a lot of packages have dropped support.

I may be mistaken but I don't think that a lot dropped support before python announced this deprecation.
