It's easier to distribute software fully self-contained, if you ignore the pain of statically linking everything together :)

  What's the pain?

    I'm guessing the pain of fighting the various build systems that insist on dynamic linking, sometimes against the user's explicit wishes.

    Most open source software tooling Were designed to be dynamically linked. It is non-standard to statically link things together, which causes various random issues.
