I use Python and R for data science, and I've never had any issue with R. In fact, I find that many tasks are much simpler in R than in Python.

I am referring to using R to build systems. It's not common.
What would you consider a system? Python definitely has more market share than R, but there's still name brand companies of various sizes that use an R stack for data science.
RStudio lists dozens of example clients here: https://rstudio.com/about/customer-stories/.
Use cases include collaborative model development, EDA tools, dashboarding, printed report generation (PDFs and HTML), public facing websites, etc.
