Why can't enterprise gateway run R or Python scripts in the same way that Personal gateway can?
Just looking for a more concrete explanation than "I read that you can't do it" that I can share with my coworkers.
Thanks!

Hi @RBunting ,
I checked the official documentation, which states that only personal gateways support R scripts, but doesn't explain why it goes any further
There is really very little documentation on this issue, I did a related search, here is a similar post where you can do some reference:

Indeed, I am familiar with that stack overflow post! Hard not to notice that it has accumulated over 3k views in 3 years -- in my experience, that's a well-traversed question in SO's 'PowerBI' tags. It's apparent to me that a lot of people are confused / frustrated by this limitation. I don't think Microsoft has done a good job making it clear, and folks are only discovering AFTER they've published that there is a ground-floor problem in their methodology that needs to be solved. It's not great.
I dont think i have seen a specific reason mentioned anywhere, it might be because power query is the native scripting language of power bi from an enterprise perspective.
