Yeah that's the usual refrain, but the only situation where you have shared libraries is on Linux with a package manager. In that case it is trivial to recompile all packages that depend on the insecure library anyway.

On Windows you have to package most shared libraries with your app anyway so you have to get a new version of it anyway.

Sure but that's one of the reasons I use Linux.
