I'm not sure exactly what was originally meant, I interpreted it as how currently dynamic linking is the norm, is used in every mainstream OS and most the applications run on them, and all the major mobile platforms. If we had to make a choice right now without the history of dynamic linking behind us, would we still choose to use it for the majority of platforms?

FWIW: You appropriately articulated how I meant 'universally adopted'.

Nit:

"Use it for the majority of platforms [and/or for the majority of applications]?"
