Time of compilation is one issue. If you just wanted to add a module you would have to recompile everything. Likewise if you want to remove a module.

Although one advantage of requiring compilation is the user is probably more likely to use the latest version.

you can reduce re-compilation time by using ccache compiler caching. i do this for my Centmin Mod LEMP stack auto installer and re-compile via ccache is up to 60-80% faster than without ccache https://ccache.samba.org/ :)
