Everything you say explains why R is a great language in academia, and why people in research will stay away from "software engineering"-oriented languages like Java and JavaScript. Researchers already have too much to worry about.

But for large-scale research involving multiple researchers, users, and datasets, software engineering mindset can be beneficial in the long term.
