Description
As far as I am concerned, the single biggest issue is mbed-cli requires older Python 3.6 and does not work with the latest LTS version 3.8. For a developer like myself using Python and many other tools depending on it, probably it causes a lot disadvantage.
Sure I know, Python likes to change things around and, surprisingly, backwards compatibility is not a top priority for its development community but still.
Personally, I would consider rewriting mbed-cli in TypeScript to avoid Python breaking changes in the future.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking mbed-cli's Python version constraints and reproducing its behavior on Python 3.8; first determine whether compatibility can be fixed within the existing CLI or whether the suggested TypeScript rewrite is actually in scope. Done would require an agreed scope and verified support for the latest LTS Python version.
