You can completely skip all CRTs on Windows and still have a program that can call dynamic loader and other Win32 APIs. Here is a tutorial: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/02/15/

When you link with UCRT your specific program just gets a "view" of standard C functions. You can load DLLs that were linked with MSVCRT from a UCRT program. It just works
