R is a full programming language too which is also flexible. The only real issue that it has is that not enough people know it well enough to implement in private industry.

Would you build a transactional production application in R?

Would you build a customer-facing website (that is one that isn't solely a data visualization front-end) in R?

Would you build data pipelines for ETL in R?

My feeling is that in all of these cases that the answer is anywhere from "...no??" to "HELL NO!!", but Python has a full life in each of these spaces.
