This would enforce the usage of the specific version 2.7. This could be a
problem for _really_ old installations (e.g. containing only 2.6).
I guess, there is no incentive to change the shebang, since this would not offer
any significant improvement (at least I am not aware of any).

Just in case you are thinking about a possible confusion with python3: at least
for Debian /usr/bin/python will refer to python2.x for a very long time.
See here for a short summary of this discussion:
