You almost got it. There are people who need to cross the river. Every day, several times, at different positions that each require different types of boats. These people rely on these boats because although they are rusty and don't look nice, they always get the job done. Since you do not need to cross the river, you are perfectly content with your Ferrari. Although you could upgrade it to a Ferrari-boat, you just don't need to. You could though. It would take a week, but you could. It'll probably be a great Ferrari-boat, if you did everything right. But since you have no interest in crossing the river, you don't understand why people use boats. They are obviously slow and not shiny. And, most of all, they are slow on the road. You don't get it, why use boats? And so you say that boats are bad. But boats are not bad. Boats work for crossing the lake, while your Ferrari does not work except with exceptional upgrades that cost money and time. And people who use boats do not go on the road. They don't need to. But they need to cross that lake, often, and they need their boats. You can argue all you want, but as long as R is the best language and package for doing statistics, your critique is literally "R is not good at something R was not designed to do. In theory, my language would be better than R, although it is not because in the real world my language doesn't have the necessary features".
