I think they asked in a respectful manner, so I don’t see anything wrong with their comment really.

Python 2 will be EOLed soon.

https://pythonclock.org/

4 months 25 days 5 hours left until Python 2 is retired. After that point it will no longer be maintained by the Python project.

Of course Linux distros and companies will keep Python 2 running for years to come because of all of the tools that are Python 2 only.

New projects ought to be written in Python 3. However, in this case my guess would be that OP probably used Python 2.7 because macOS ships with Python 2.7 preinstalled.

So if we could, Apple are the ones that we ought to speak to. Convince Apple to ship macOS with Python 3 pre-installed.
