Since Python upstream really cares about these things, I started a discussion about this on their mailing list [1]. So far, it seems that people prefer my mental model, but this is judging from just 4 answers, 2 of which mentioned this. So let's wait and see.
BTW, if Python 2 and Python 3 were different languages, then IMO it wouldn't make sense to point /usr/bin/python to Python 3, while upstream plans to actually give the recommendation to do so sometime in the future.
