This package is part of Ruby 2.7's default gems, but in Ruby 3.1 it's no longer there. That's why packages have started to add this dependency. Since ruby-default-gems on EL8 doesn't have Provides: rubygem(webrick) it isn't satisfied. Rather than hacking around it in every gem that requires it, this starts to package webrick explicitly. In the future it needs to happen anyway.
