I have an ex-colleague who worked at an Australian bank in America (do the math!). They still had Python 2.6 scripts. This is circa 2019.

I see nothing wrong with this. The fact that it is in "old" python just means that it has done its job for a long time, presumably without needing to be rewritten. I would love it if someone came into my workplace in 15 years and found a script I wrote today still being used.
Bank. Unsupported runtime. Extremely likely to not be secure.
