The support for loading GDAL dynamically was added to prevent GDAL from
becoming a critical dependency. If GDAL is linked at compile time, any
linkage errors for GDAL would make GRASS entirely unusable.
And GDAL is a very heavy-weight dependency; on my system, libgdal.so has
32 dependencies, and that's with some of the less common formats disabled.
OTOH, given that programs such as g.region and g.proj require it, it's
essentially a critical dependency already.
