Because converting 2 to 3 takes time and effort, and a lot of software relies on 2.

2 isn't broken, why waste time and money fixing something that works perfectly?

The tool works, but when you have a large project with multiple python files integrated with other languages, you can't just shove it through a converter and expect everything to work without bugs.
