I think this is exactly how R's accreted features to make it do things that it was never designed to do. When the "tool you use" becomes the "kind of developer you are," things get a little restrictive.

It's also how languages like Scala become "everything and the kitchen sink" multi-paradigm monsters. People making the tool want it to do everything, so that they can get all the developers, so they make it a functional object-oriented imperative procedural declarative hodgepodge of 15 different barely-mutually-operable sub-languages, and you get a mess.
