I wouldn't say this is true for "the majority user's of R" at all.

But for "the majority of professors who tangentially use R code in classes on statistics/bioinformatics/economics/finance (anything not explicitly about R and/or Data Science best practices)"? Absolutely.

The R code you see in industry (or academic labs where someone cares about modern R) looks vastly different from those script examples in college that are most people's first impression of the language.
