Harper started playing first base in 2023 and was a Gold Glove finalist in the NL in 2024 so not sure what you're talking about. I don't know how good a fielder Devers was at third, but as I said before, trying to learn a new position at the major leagues level isn't easy. Harper worked on it while DHing during his comeback from elbow surgery. Devers would have to start doing it with little opportunity to learn the position.
