From what I observe, most people use dynamic libraries simply because they cannot get stuff setup correctly for linking statically. So they're usually not shared, but merely use the shared library file format. For a practical example, most software on Windows will bring its own folder with DLLs. One step further, this is probably why we're now seeing docker everywhere: it's a Linux equivalent to Windows and Mac app store apps.
