Actually RedHat no longer ships Python since RHEL 8, instead they have platform-python for internal use of the operating system and you need to explicitly install the Python version you want
This is a RHEL 8 only feature, RHEL 9 will have a global python3. Whether alternative version are offered as modules or as side-by-side installs like in Fedora, I do not know.
