Package relations are directional. Since blender-data cannot use
blender for anything (data does not use apps - apps uses their data), it
is correct for blender-data to not depend on or recommend blender.

If blender-data contains scripts which require Python3 to run, then it
must declare either Depends or Recommends on python3.

If those python3 scripts are not always used, then it makes sense to
relax to only recommend python3.
Only if those python3 scripts are not really used other than as
examples, they can instead be installed below
/usr/share/doc/blender/examples and _then_ relax to only suggest
python3.
