Loading at runtime is a feature. You're supposed to lock down the environment for execution so the right libraries get used. The trouble with statically linking is that you have to relink everything to update. You also can't easily audit which versions are in a binary. It seems appropriate for some small userspace programs but not for complex software like services with many dependencies.
