Not really to purposefully be different. If you know the history of APL and K it was to originally make a better and more unified math notation. Both have been in production for a long time (APL since like the 60s and K's original version was 90s)
Both R and APL/K are great for data science and have great tools. I wouldn't call either a toy (not sure if you were just referring to this particular task or the technology in general). K is commonly used in kxsystems's kdb+ product and deep pocketed quants pay top dollar for it.
