I guess it is the reason. I consider it quite an annoyance that ports depending on Python 2.7 are deleted before the EoL of the interpreter has actually occurred. I'm currently trying to resurrect a port (textproc/scancode-toolkit) which for quite some time has already been available in an upgraded version for Python 3 on Github, but was deleted in our ports tree. It depends on other ports that work with Python 3 if only the USES clause in the ports Makefile is fixed to include 3.6+ (I do not have older Python versions installed and they might work with 3.0+, but I cannot easily test that assumption). Some of these dependencies have also been deleted from ports, despite being ready for Python 3. IMHO ports that are currently marked to require Python 2.7 should be updated to a version that works with 3.x (and many will do without any change to the port except removing the restriction in the port's Makefile, as I have found when working on scancode-toolbox). Removal of Python-32.7 specific ports that are depended on by other ports instead of just updating them or their port Makefile causes friction and work for maintainers of dependent ports, who may not have much experience with those dependencies (e.g. because they are written in Python whole the port maintainer is not well versed in that language and especially not in the steps required to migrate a port from 2.7 to 3.x or to test whether it has been fully migrated by the upstream).
