Why not?
If Windows had proper package management I wouldn't use it either, but
until then...

I'd only really just offer it as one option, in case a user of your
library is forced to use another library with the static runtime. It
doesn't mean that you don't have a static library without it, it just
means you aren't embedding the entire standard c/c++ runtime library
into yours, bloating memory usage, and inviting lots of symbol
collisions when versions don't quite match. Myself and my colleagues
have collectively lost significant hair on this one, and it took a while
for me to figure out exactly what it all meant since it's kind of
confusing. (and the error messages more so)
