I'm not sure about Snap and Flatpack, but from looking at AppImage
many of the packages for it are for programs that won't build with
static linking. It also does still leave some libraries to be
provided by the system by default, like OpenSSL.

I explored making AppImages to make a portable build of a large GUI
program that wouldn't link statically, but jeeze it was a whole
lot more work than making a static binary.
