Because PyPy seems to be defunct. It hasn't updated for quite a while.

See https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/30416 for example. It's not being updated for compatibility with new versions of Python.

It supports at best Python 3.11 code, right?

So it’s not unmaintained, no. But the project is currently under resourced to keep up with the latest Python spec.

That is not the same thing at all, and not what he said.

It is exactly what I'm referring to. I didn't say there aren't still people around. But they're far enough behind CPython that folks like NumPy are dropping support. Unless they get a substantial injection of new people and new energy, they're likely to continue falling behind.

You said it was defunct, which would mean there aren't still people working on it.

Not what you wrote.

Also CPython 3.10 is not EOL so library authors won't be using anything from 3.11 anyway.

You've both been here long enough to know that this kind of sniping should be avoided here.
