Not true. Vanilla 18.04 LTS ships with no Python installed by default and the main repos `python` package is 2.7. Same for Debian 10. Ubuntu 20.04 switched the `python` package to Python3.
Even conservative CentOS (where Python is a base dependency for the system, as opposed to the above) is on Python3 as of now though.
As far as I am aware, Debian 10 buster is the last mainstream LTS distro to default to python2. Should change next year with Debian 11.
