What do people use / recommend for plotting *publication quality* plots of mathematical functions.

In opensource, matplotlib is huge, but it is fundamentally plotting data points, and plotting functions means creating domain data points and calculating their mapping, and plotting that. Unsatisfactory imo.
Similarly for the other tool, ggplot2 in R, it is designed for data.
In proprietary software, Mathematica is also huge, but imho their plots have always look janky and not publication quality.
What I haven't explored is "latex packages" which purport to do function plotting. I'd be surprised if they did fancy things like not crashing at singularities. Is this what authors use for polished publications?
