> all shared libraries depend on the specific glibc version to load them

Not really, though. glibc uses symbol versions that are forward but not backward compatible. If you got an error that said "this program was built for a newer version of <distro>" would you say the same thing?

Note this is the same (if not worse) on MacOS, and on windows you used to distribute the CRT with your application just to deal with the same problem.
