This is such a strange and annoying compromise to make. It's somewhat antithetical to the concept of RHEL versions being a standardized set of packages such that when someone says "I have RHEL 7", you can say "My software will work on that".
Now in order to support RHEL 8, you have to tell them to also have their sys admin install your preferred python.
A better and less bespoke to RHEL solution imo would have been to make an anaconda install or virtualenv the default python for each user.
