Due to static linking, not all functions will be included in the executable and therefore some simple "hello world" binaries will not need sysprof-capture-static. However, anything that used the .pc file will need it.
Technically, you could also use glib's static library without dependent .a libraries if you link with glib's .a file but do not specify -static; but that's not a good argument against having a Requires for the dependency in my opinion, because it makes the .pc file not work out of the box. Perhaps a weak dependency, but even that sounds strange.
As to glibc-static I think it's fair to say that whoever uses -static will have to install it on their own, so it can be left out of glib2.spec.

sysprof-capture-static package, but it does need glibc-static
