I work with embedded systems and I can tell you for a fact that there are exactly two reasons for not including Python or newer versions of it:
1) Hardware constraints.
2) Software must be real-time.
Non-embedded developers are usually unable to understand the constrains of embedded and chalk it up to "you are dinosaurs". Not true.

The lack of Py3 support is not about Python vs $language on $environment, it's about using EOL software in general.
