Both approaches involve shared libraries, which are simply dynamically linked objects. The article outlines a problem of distribution, not linking strategies. You're using shared libraries in both contexts. This is a misuse of well-established terminology. To say this is an ideological issue is a balance fallacy, as the package management approach has long been shown superior (by the likes of e.g. Nix and Guix).
