It does makes sense. glibc depends heavily on dynamic linking partly because it's pluggable. For instance DNS resolution supports plugins. Ditto for many other useful bits of software. If you think of a container as a frozen combination of apps and plugins, then the value becomes clearer: the software in the container can be recombined in many ways without recompilation or re(static)linking, the container itself is static.
