I just checked and I have 5600 binaries in my /usr/bin. They take an average of 100kb. If statically compiling them means an average of 50M that means 281gb.

You're arguing against a strawman saying that no binaries should ever be anything but statically compiled, including system binaries bundled with the operating system. I certainly did not say that.
