This is also how windows apps always worked. It’s good for deployment because an update might not touch more than a few files. Also not all language ecosystems

Also not all language ecosystems support static linking at all, e.g .NET
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Also not all language ecosystems support static linking at all, e.g .NET The “language ecosystem” of .NET supports static linking via .NET Native, doesn't it?
- mastax 5y ago.NET native is a dead end technology that only supported old UWP apps. There's the new single file builds but those just concatenate the dynamic libs together into one file. There's also the new .NET linker for trimmed builds, but that requires special annotations from many libs to work.
