Hah, sorry? If you don't use, you shouldn't be impacted by the decisions Arch does :) Unless I'm missing that you were joking.

There are people who write programs on Arch that use the python3 -> python symlink.

Then when that program is packaged for other distros, you get this error.

Not a huge deal by any means, but the non-standard behavior can add a bit of friction.
