It should be noted though that flatpaks and related solutions are NOT equivalent to static linking. They do a lot more and serve a wildly different audience than something like Oasis. They are really much too extreme for non-GUI applications, and I would question the competence of anybody found running ordinary programs packaged in that manner.

I recognize that you probably weren't confused on this I'm just clarifying for others since the whole ecosystem can be a bit confusing.
