The tone is excessive and over-the-top because it's the last of numerous documents over the years saying essentialy the same thing. And yeah, they are probably sick of supporting Python 2 because a few vocal users still complain a decade after the writing is on the wall. There are tons of incentives to upgrade, but unfortunately very few to none can be considered killer features, and thus are harder to show off in a concise reminder about the sunset. You have to give it a try and actually use Python 3 features to realize how much this improves your life as a developer. Python 3 isn't perfect, but especially with later versions, it's a hell of an improvement over Python 2.
