You've quoted him partially and incorrectly. He said "Everyone claims 
that it's easier to move to <some other language> rather than to migrate 
to Python 3, and I'm calling people's bluffs now."

The point is that there are those who use Python 2 and don't want to 
move to Python 3, claiming that it's easier to switch from Python 2 to 
some other language than from Python 2 to Python 3. That's what seems 
questionable.
