Unless I'm misunderstanding, I don't think you're correct. To give a concrete example, Fedora switched to using Python 3 as the default several releases ago[1]; despite that, Python 2 is still available in the archive, and will get pulled in when installing software that (regrettably) hasn't been ported yet. The same is true for FreeBSD and, I believe, Ubuntu. I'm not familiar with the approach other distributions and OS are taking, but I would expect it to be fairly similar.
