Btw. the issue with those apps more likely is the weakness of
bloatware. In case of those apps the bundled libs unlikely are an
issue, because those apps have got an immense huge community, but Linux
provides many other domains, with smaller target groups and less
maintainers and developers, where it would be much harder to keep track
of bundled libs.
