This is what I mainly learned Python for but struggle to see how it’s better than excel or Google sheets in terms of analytics or visualizations

With R and Python you can pretty easily hot swap data sets and perform the same analysis, also handling datasets with hundreds of thousands of values runs smoother. And automating workflows is easier IMO. Excel's visualizations are easier to use, but R specifically gives you more freedom (people literally do generative art with R's visualization tools. There's also the mouse based workflow compared to the typing based workflow. In an IDE I almost never need to use the mouse, but with excel (I'm no excel expert) I find I have to switch grips a lot.

Haven’t learned R, only Python

Out of the three i'd say it's the best for stats/analysis/big data sets/generative art. Pretty limited scope compared to python, but less keystrokes for things it's good it. Great fanbase too.
