Because modern languages (rust, go...) have discovered static linking,
and are abusing it like it is the second coming.  Now, you don't need to
have any kind of stability in your API, you can do whatever you want,
consumers of your library will stick to the one version that they
developped with and that works for them, and it seems nobody cares.
