The problem is that it is lagging behind enough that it is falling out of the support window for a lot of libraries.
Imagine someone releases RustPy tomorrow, which supports Python 2.7. Is it maintained? Technically, yes - it is just lagging behind a few releases. Should tooling give a big fat warning about it being essentially unusable if you try to use it with the 2026 Python ecosystem? Also yes.
