Because putting everything in shared libs is what made the mess of the bazillion of x11 libs, even though x11 is a IPC protocol. If I am upset about something, it is wlroots does not manage properly its symbol namespaces with the C preprocessor, that to reduce to near 0 the possibility to have symbol collision while static linking. The great thing is finally xfce is going to have its wayland compositor. And there, there is not negativity, only positivity, because the real core of wayland is orders of magnitude simpler than x11 core, and wayland is getting its way on mobile, which means with vulkan3d, dude, the future looks bright, not grim, cheer up.
