The key distinction is between installation on systems for which CRAN builds static packages - Windows and macOS - and others installed from the sf source, and dynamically linking to the system-provided GDAL version.
In the latter case, the user may choose to install GDAL from source instead. In the former case, the sf.and terra developers can ask for an update. For Windows, MXE is used to cross-compile GDAL and its upstream dependencies, so more steps are needed. I'll check the current Windows and macOS GDAL versions and report back. Roger PS. Rstudio is an IDE, always do real work just using R itself. Also, VScode is another IDE. --- Roger Bivand Emeritus Professor Department of Economics Norwegian School of Economics, Bergen, Norway
