You missed the word "statically" in the post you commented on. Dynamically linked libs rarely contribute heavily to binary bloat

  The benefit of statically linking becomes moot when it doesn't reduce the number of dynamically linked libraries. That's the point.

    That's not why rust statically links the runtime. The main benefit is that they don't have to try to design and maintain a stable ABI for it. Which is not moot. More generally, you statically link something to avoid distribution hassles of various kinds, not because you care about the specific number.
