Fedora does the same. Must have been 3 or 4 years ago Python 2 was removed as a dependency from the core system packages and "python" started resolving to a Python 3 release.

I expect this has filtered down to RHEL9 now.

Multiple version are supported with "python2.7", "python3.9" etc. if a version older than the current default is required.
