"I did mention statically linked didn't I?"

You did. They said you were wrong, pointed out that it was mostly dynamic, and explained why dynamic was a problem. To be fair, the same dynamic library problem could easily happen elsewhere (Linux without package managers could be really annoying if someone was trying to deploy binaries, because sometimes the binaries would have hardcoded locations for libraries which weren't convenient; building from source or using a package manager was good about fixing this).
