A lot of libraries refused to migrate before Python 3.5(?) came out which was ~4 years ago. IIRC earlier Python 3 versions had performance regressions compared to Python 2.

Personally, I would guess that many organizations will be running in Python 2 for at least parts of their codebase come 2020.
