In what way is "we are no longer going to provide any of our volunteer time to support Python2" even _vaguely_ able to be characterised as "grabbing it out of the hands of people still using it"???

Nobody is ever going to take anything Python2 related away from you.
There's a lot of talk here about "arrogance", all from people upset that some other people have decided not to do any _more_ free volunteer work on a thing they've been trying to get people to upgrade from for 3/6/12 years depending on how you count it. Those people complaining about "arrogance" are putting words into the mouths of the people who've done so much free work for them over th=e last 20 years, accusing them of saying "fuck you" and of "grabbing things out of the hands of people" and of "cannibalising" the code they wrote 15-20 years ago while providing newer better code (which happens to not suit some people who're not prepared for whatever reason to update their own code).
GvR is _not_ the one seeming arrogant in this thread...
(And didn't the last line in my comment you replied to make it abundantly clear I knew exactly what arrogance the OP was incorrectly claiming, and what the actual arrogance on display was?)
