Speed. Multiple dispatch. A language actually designed for numerical work and data science and all that, instead of a language that accidently found a niche there. A chance to look at the status of Python and fix it's pain points.

S was designed for numerical work/data science, so R did inherit lots of this.

To be fair, this was back in the seventies, so it's good we're getting another language designed for this problem space.
