That's fine for static applications that don't have to change.
Successful applications tend to grow new features over the years. It's
not fun to do so if new capabilities are growing out of reach in Python
3 land.
It's possible if enough features exist in Python 3 land bosses of
successful applications will fund a port, with all the risks of
introducing bugs that this entails. But a smoother upgrade path would
help those applications more. And as I pointed out before, these
applications are where a lot of money and development resources are
coming from in our community.
Of course it's possible my assessment of the importance of these
applications, their development resources, and the bump a Python 3 port
presents for them, is off.

Martijn
