I've used your content for creating a bootable RHEL 6 ISO and did the same for 7. After creating the ISO and booting, it goes to a text based installation menu. Things like partition sizes, FIPS, encryption, etc, cannot be modified or adjusted.

I've tried building the ISO using your script from a RHEL 6.9/7.3/7.4 machine with the same results (all minimal installs). None of your content was modified and was used as-is when executing the script to create the ISO. A quick poking around the menu.py file and it seems it's supposed to be GUI driven like your RHEL 6 content.

The destination system being built is a VM hosted within a vSphere 6.5 environment. Am I doing something incorrect when generating the ISO or is there maybe something missing from the source boxes I'm using to build it from that could be causing this?

While in the text-based portion of the default automated installation screen, I attempted to manually execute the menu.py script and was greeted with an error. I didn't copy it down word for word, but it mentioned there was an unexpected indent on line 1002.

I opened menu.py in notepad++ and replaced all tabs with (4) spaces, (85) instances were replaced. I rebuilt the ISO and went through the install again and bingo, was greeted with the menu I was looking for.
