Thats the current position for Fedora: now that Fedora 33 is out. This
laptop is running F32, which I'll be upgrading to F33 later in January.
It still has Python 2 software installed but there are no longer any
Python 2 packages in its package library.

But, although all distros will stop support for Python 2  at a similar
time, the exact timing for each distro will depend on the speed at which
packages that contain Python are upgraded from 2 to 3 by its package
maintainers. I'm not surprised if Fedora is doing it before Raspbian
since its a bit more on the bleeding edge than Raspbian or Debian are.
