GVR, the PSF and the core dev team overestimated their influence. They still truly believe the majority will come around to Python3. I agree with your sentiments and balkanization is the right word. Guido won't even read these comments. He thinks it's all some unjust slander and nonsense that will be forgotten in 3 years. :)
It is a good time to jump off the Python train in general, and I say that as someone invested in Python who loves it. If possible I'd recommend people reach for Go or Elixir depending on their needs or requirements.
I will admit I'm a little shocked how much of a failure Python3 adoption has been. I think if it had been Grumpy from the start it would've been a huge success. This is exactly what people want and Google should be commended for sharing this.
Here's to hoping Grumpy takes on a life of its own and is the new de facto Python.
