This isn't true at all...

Also all advance statistical books are either SAS or R. If it's R then there is always a package that the author created.

Just look at Chapman & Hall/CRC or Springer publisher and look at their books.

Count the number of R packages in those papers versus Python.

I don't even need a source. I'm a statistician and I'm going to get a paper there and publish a R package for my master thesis.
