I think there's been a slight miscommunication: system-python will be used
instead of python3 only when building/installing packages inside spec files.
The built packages themselves depend on will be run by python3.
There has been some sort of miscommunication because from my layman
take on things, what Neal was what system-python was only meant to be
used for .. for exactly the reason he said.
