Depending on how builds and deployments are done, there is a high likelihood that the lower userspace layers are much slower moving than the upper application layers. After your second build, dynamic linking wins and everything after that it pulls even further ahead.
Smart builds can make application deltas really small. I helped design a system where our several hundred MB monolith could be hot patches with a layer of a few thousand kilobytes and most builds were 10-20MB. Obviously this wouldn’t have worked for a statically linked app.
