I think it is on Windows. Years back we decided that static libs
would be simpler for people building their own Csound who
would not need to know about dynamic library paths etc.
However, this is open to discussion.

In most cases, csound is installed in a standard location or at least a
location that your distro has in LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

In the other case, where the user has installed it in their home folder
or similar, he probably already know about appending the location of
libcsound.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Actually, it's probably easier to know about LD_LIBRARY_PATH than
OPCODEDIR, which must also be set manually if csound is installed in a
non-standard location.

Making the default shared will make applications linking with csound
smaller, and enjoy the benefit of dynamic linking (sharing memory, etc).
