They literally did that, in 2019: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-catalina-10_15-release-notes#Scripting-Language-Runtimes https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-note..., and specifically mentioned *then* that Python2.7 was not recommended.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoYes, and I was surprised when Monterrey launched with Python 2 still included. But I really did think that since it was in Monterrey, it was going to stick around until at least macOS 13.

- stephenr 5y agoLet's face it: at this point macOS version numbers are a marketing tool, and not much more. It's only 2 major releases ago that a "x.y" release *would* have been considered "major".
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoI don't think that's particularly relevant. It was pretty clear that between 10.0 and 10.15, the second number was the "major" version for all intents and purposes, and now it's the first number.
