Python 3.8 was just released this week, so it's no surprise that it isn't in your OS's main repositories. Red Hat really isn't a fast-moving distribution, and if you're expecting the latest versions of things, you're going to frequently be frustrated by it. But as to why you can't install those development libraries - no idea. They don't look critical (eg bluez is for Bluetooth, not necessary for the core Python interpreter), so you could try building Python without them. Further discussion might want to move to python-list rather than here.
