Shared code is the only sane way to manage secure systems. Not only do I not want to wait 6 months for an lzo or libpng RCE to be fixed separately in 28 different pieces of software (some are no longer maintained so I'll have to wait for a kind package maintainer or modify/compile/distribute myself), I also don't want the job of finding which of my software constitute the list of programs making my system vulnerable and require this attention - or don't, if they've already been fixed (how do you check?). Performance and disk space have almost nothing to do with why we use shared libraries, IMHO.
