The tools that root needs are more often served by being statically linked than dynamically for the situations where the volume with the shared libraries fails to mount.

Having mnt be statically linked makes it much easier to recover that system.

The ideal of "/sbin for system tooling" isn't so much one of static vs dynamic but rather users accidentally finding system tools that don't work and sending email to the admin saying "mnt gives me a permission denied error" when they have no business running it.
