Is this just an oversight or some kind of lag? Or is this intentional? It will make it impossible for EPEL to build needed modules for EPEL 8.
Didn't the EPEL project just remove all modules and declare modularity defunct?

Your question seems fine otherwise, but this seems to have no impact on EPEL as far as I can tell.
EPEL 8 consumes RHEL 8 via an internal recompose that demodularizes out all non-conflicting modules and imports them so that Koji exposes them for packagers to build against. This means that all Python versions are available for EPEL 8 packagers.
