The static_assert() wrapper provides the text of the expression as the error message, this isn't needed here as an explicit message is provided. If there is an error (quite likely for min/max) the wrapper also adds two more lines of error output that just make it harder to read. Since it gives no benefit and actually makes things worse directly using _Static_assert() is much better.
