Dynamic linking by default has been vocally criticized by everyone from Carmack to Bell Labs/Plan9/golang people. Many if not most of the big scale companies have historically avoided it like the plague. It has horrific costs in performance, security, reproducibility, and ultimately comprehensibility of any system.

People pay out the ass in droves via Docker (huge-ass images, clunky composability, cgroup/namespace complexity) and Nix (horror-movie learning curve) and I'm sure other things to get around it / emulate static linking. `sudo apt-whatever upgrade` and pray is pretty much DOA in even low-complexity settings. People are voting with their feet.

You can disagree, and if you're not affiliated with Debian or GNU I might even believe that you come by that opinion honestly, but this gigantic bloc of people who hate it are not all "oblivious".
