As a regular R/bash/python user, I think the Posit philosophy is increasingly to break down barriers between the languages. It's no longer an either/or relationship, you can use both. And some packages or features that have been ported to python are just objectively worse in that language, so the want for R is definitely there.
Also, a lot of the Posit team are fully "bilingual", it's not like the old guard of academic R contributors. My impression is they appreciate both languages for what they have to offer.
For me, I'm apathetic to the languages, the only thing I care about is the output.
