looks like 15.2 will want to stay with Python 3.6.x, which is a bit unfortunate, since this effectively excludes Blender 2.80, which requires Python 3.7 at least.
Although Blender on openSUSE is flying under the radar at the moment, Blender catches quite some interest everywhere, and it would be a pity, if this nice piece of software would be kept out on the next big step of openSUSE. It is up to the maintainer to get the package into 15.2 if needed. Upgrading the system python is out of scope for 15.2 though. If blender wants to be able to run newer versions on stable, maintained distributions, relying on core system components it needs to watch what to put as requirements.
Did you talk to upstream yet? Maybe they are just not aware and the version requirement was just naive.
Since Python is the base of the heavily used Blender Add-On ecosystem, we cannot just drop these requirements unilaterally. If we cannot ship a feature complete package, we should admit just that. That's the downside of the SLE relationship. Obviously, the only way to deal with this discrepancy correctly is packaging a private Python 3 interpreter, but that's not much fun either. And since Dave Plater doesn't trust me enough to assign co-maintainership to me, that's even less of a motivation. But we shouldn't confuse people with half-baked solutions, which harms the project as a whole in the end...
