This is patently false; the default python3 on Ubuntu 20.04[1] is 3.8.2. A separate package python3.8 is also available in built-in repositories for all supported versions of Ubuntu going back all the way to 18.04[2]. 1: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python3 https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python3 2: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3.8 https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3.8
