Another reason: you can't statically link against GNU LGPL code without 
getting into a huge mess of sending out half-linked binaries so that 
users still have the freedom to modify the LGPL part of the code and 
link it against your static work.

(I know that the OP wasn't talking about LGPL code, but I thought I'd 
throw it out there as a reason why I don't think it's so great an idea)
