This prompted me to look again. Apparently, the defaults vary depending on how you are using it, in the official containers published by the project, this package isn't installed by default and therefore "python" just says command not installed and works similar to RHEL8 (which also doesn't have /usr/bin/python by default either). If you have been upgrading from Fedora prior to when this change was introduced, it doesn't appear to be installed. However in a fresh installation of Fedora 36 it does show up.
