I disagree with both paragraphs.

By choosing a license that requires attribution, developers are communicating a preference. MIT0 and 0BSD exist. If someone does not care about attribution, they would use one of those licenses.

Dynamically linking to a MIT lib is not the same as distributing an MIT lib, so yeah static linking to the lib is completely different, according to the terms of the license.

If you are working professionally as a software developer, or even just appreciate open source contributions, please take licensing terms more seriously.

Kind regards.
