Now it is not disk space, but for instance security that is a major theme. It is so nice to update the shared OpenSSL library and after that just being safe for every application linked to it. However, it is indeed annoying that some distros (looking at you Arch) don't ship older versions of some shared libraries, like libLLVM. And then you indeed run into "shared library not found" issues.
