I agree with you on this, but also seeing how some libraries get developed/updated (I am looking you, npm), I can see why some programmers prefer static libraries.
But npm is one of those modern eco systems that believes every project should pick its own version of everything. It is effectively static linking.

So npm is the static linking problem.
