It's not that nobody knew it's going to be EOL-ed, but I haven't met anyone taking it seriously. I've only seen a circular logic of "Python 2 is just fine, and nobody uses Python 3, so no rush". I've seen companies started and intentionally built on Python 2 after the original EOL deadline. It baffles my mind, because I've lived through PHP 4→5 switch. It was a major breaking language change that affected every object assignment. It felt like it was dragging on forever, but in retrospect, compared to Python, that was a quick and successful upgrade.
