It's to keep compatibility for Python 2 only scripts. It doesn't mean Python 2 is default Python. Debian and Ubuntu working hard to move Python 3 as default. Most packages depends on Python 3, not 2. When installing Ubuntu, there are no "python" command. Python 3 is installed as default, but Python 2 not.
