I think you may have misinterpreted what was meant by the "Most certainly use Python3 for any new projects." sentence.

I don't think it's using "Most certainly" in the sense of "Most developers using Python use Python 3 for any new projects.", like you appear to be thinking it says.

Rather, it appears to be saying, "Without any doubt, if you're using Python use Python 3 for any new projects."

It appears to be a statement regarding the suitability of Python 3 for new projects, rather than some quantitative claim regarding the number of users of Python 3.

Correct. Sorry for the ambiguity.
