Unlike many high-profile packages, Freetype is also used on (mostly embedded) platforms where shared libraries just do not exist. Also if some vendor has a design which, perhaps for historic reasons, do not include shared libraries, to make a single exception for Freetype will not ease substantially her updating pain. And forcing a design change to use shared libraries all over the place is often an order of magnitude more complex (and more expensive.)
