For single-player games, I doubt it matters if there are unpatched vulnerabilities.

Many single player games do still phone home or otherwise cause network activity, so it’s not like they are guaranteed a safe bubble in which to run.

That's true, sadly.
That said, if the library changes the API or functionality at all, dynamic linking is going to break the game, and that's not good either. So gamedevs are going to opt for static linking and call it a day rather than deal with support requests.
