> What's the advantage of Python if you already know R?

AFAIK in statistical modelling Python is better only in neural networks, so if you do not need to do fancy things with images, text, etc. you do not need Python. R is still the king.

In terms of charting and dashboards, I would say that if you work high level R and Python are both pleasant. R has ggplot, but Python has Plotly Express. R has Shiny, but Python has Dash and Streamlit. You can do great with both.
