That matters, but I don't think that's happening until all of the big graduate-level metrics textbooks get R versions. And even then, at least a few papers are going to run into trouble with older reviewers who are used to seeing work done in Stata and don't trust anything else.
Yes, and it's also non-trivial to write R code that matches your textbook's answer if your textbook used Stata. You have to do things like look up which specific variant of the sandwich estimator Stata uses for robust standard errors, so you can tell R to match that. In Stata's defense: It helps that Stata is actually really good for the "running regressions" part. In particular, it gets robust standard errors right…
