"Support" is a somewhat strong word here. As you stated, you performed 
an upgrade, not a fresh install. Python 2 is not installed by default, 
and has not been for a long time, as it was moved out of the main 
archive into universe, after 18.04. There however, are still plenty of 
packages in universe which depend on python2, and therefore it is still 
in the universe archive.

As you already had the package installed, it would have been upgraded 
rather than removed.
