I am more interested in security for users than for developers. Sure, it's convenient and might be slightly more work for users to mess with your app, but I don't trust every proprietary app developer to be monitoring the CVEs for every library they use.

I'm sure there's a ton of multiplayer games out there that statically linked things like libpng and networking libraries, and by now are an open door into the systems of anyone playing online.

you know that even when they are dynamically linked, the developer just ships the dlls next to the app right ?
