So therefore shared libraries aren't necessary.

Great chain of logic:  I don't think it's necessary for me, therefore it's
not necessary for anyone, therefore anything which might support it is not
necessary.

I'm one of them.  These days, I run several terminals, a mail reader, a file
browser, a dictionary, and a thesaurus.  Of those, the mail reader and
terminals get the most use.  Given that I only have 8Mbytes on the machine,
*any* savings helps, despite what you seem to think.
