This includes all available packages, but if you look at the actual usage on an average system, i.e. only static packages that are actually pulled in by requirements, it is much, much less. It seems that static packages are primarily available because some package managers perceive a potential need for static linking; for instance I see many scientific libraries (HDF, CDF, scalapack, FFTW), and in that case there is a residual speed effect and the statically linked applications have a (perhaps no longer deserved) reputation for being more easily distributable.

I checked on my F25 where I pretty much install everything I might ever need (6400 packages), and there are just 2 static packages:

llvm-static-3.8.1-2.fc25.x86_64
rust-std-static-1.14.0-2.fc25.x86_64

I think you'd have to explicitly load most of them to get up to 196.
