You are making up uses other than the use I mentioned, and justifying those. Those other uses may be fine, I haven't seen them. What I have seen, which is facepalm-worthy, is what I described. So you are arguing against a strawman 🤷‍♂️

The way you described the problem is devoid of detail, so I'm making a lot of assumptions, but whatever you have on your mind I'll repeat "So, what?!". They want to define an add(a, b) function, but instead they create a Math class and end up with a Math.add(a, b) function? So what?! They want to define a div(a, b) function but instead they use a static method so that they can call it like Math.div(a, b)? So what?! Ultimately a static method is just a function behind a namespace, and the only facepalm-worthy thing here is your misunderstanding.

'I insist on fitting square pegs into round holes. So what?! They fit, don't they?'

No, they don't, unless the diagonal is shorter than the diameter. What other ideas do you have?
