There are several libraries inspired by the grammar of graphics and ggplot, and there has even been something like a port (although its now abandoned):
What I think the author means is that there is no ggplot in the sense that there's no One Ring To Rule Them All -- ggplot2 basically killed off lattice and base R graphics for about 90% of users. The Python graphics ecosystem is more Balkanized.
