I think this is actually false for the switch from 1.5 to 2.0. People complained a lot, and announced that they won't switch to Python 2 in any foreseeable future, and indeed, they stayed with Python 1.5.2 for several years after Python 2 was released. Of course, the Python user base was much smaller then than it is now, so the absolute number of complainers surely was never as high is it is now. Only when Python 4 gets released, even more people will complain and announce that Python 4 has failed and that they stay with Python 3.8 forever.
