There are several -devel packages that are available on INTERNAL RHEL
repositories, but they are never released externally.
Thus any RHEL customers are not able to use them to build things that
depend on those libraries, such as your example, libuser.
CentOS is a clone (warts and all) of RHEL, and thus doesn't have those
-devel packages available either.
It's been this way since the release of RHEL8.
Has there been any progress?
Yes, a bit.
First, check to make sure there is a bugzilla open for whichever missing
-devel package you need.
Next, wait several months/years to see the debate go back and forth on
the bug. It's possible it might make it in.
Sorry for the sad tone, it's just a battle I've been waging since before
RHEL8 was released. I've given up hope for them being released on
RHEL8, though occasionally I am happily surprised. One of the packages
I've been fighting for will be released in RHEL 8.4 ... but that's just
1 out of 4.

I see, thanks for the confirmation. Last time I came across this was around
RHEL 8.1 release, but back then I simply dismissed it since RHEL 8 was still
relatively new. It's kind of sad it hasn't improved much since then.
I definitely agree with the "supportability" reason Johnny raised in the other
thread, but for -devel package it doesn't make much sense (at least to me).

This is an issue that I care about as a CentOS Project Board of
Directors member.
