Citations needed for your assertion on each point being false.

Grumpy proves Python2 is where the action is at. Everyone wanted a speed improvement with a new Python, that's the ultimate carrot.. instead Python3 was and still is in some ways slower than 2. Other than exec, eval and C-extensions, Python2 is valid Grumpy.

You didn't provide any reasoning or proof that my points, which were just reiterated, were false. If you're going to "port" anywhere from Python2, removing C extensions (which no language should have to be dependent upon anyway, so it's an improvement) and exec/eval usage is a bigger win than Python3.

The future of Python is what the users decide, not what the PSF decided. I recognize there's a lot of confusion and propaganda surrounding that. This is open source, not top-down control.
