How do you square that assertion with the fact that people clung so hard to python 2 that it took the PSF 12 years to finally kill it?

Some people clung hard to 2. Others flocked to 3.

In my direct experience, the only people who waited until the bitter end (and beyond) were ops folks who never had to stray much outside of 7-bit ASCII, and companies with large existing codebases that didn't want to allocate the resources to migrating. Neither of those really have much to do with my assertion that Python 3 attracted new people doing new things.
