Oh, I agree on that, and I know that most of the time I'll be asked why something isn't in Python so I mainly reserve it for when I am sure nobody will ask "why R?" :-)

There is a benefit nowadays that I can rely on Python>=3.6 to be available by default anywhere I am deploying whereas R has to be installed in some way, so like Bash it's part of a toolbox I can rely on being available with at least a constrained set of features.
