I would guess that the folks who end up supporting python 2 past 2020 (either as distributors or as library authors) will have an easier time of it if python 2's ssl module gets resynced with python 3 before the eol. But I suppose it's up to them to do the work...
You mean feature-wise, or do you mean "use more modern SSL libraries"? IIUC Windows doesn't use the system-provided SSL libraries, *and* 2.7 is built with a nasty old compiler. It's entirely possible that on Windows 2.7 *can't* use current SSL libraries because they won't build under said nasty old compiler.
