Because plugins don't make sense in static builds.

For plugins to exist, they must link to a library that provides some 
interfaces that they implement, and the application must link to the same 
library so that it can talk to the plugins.

In static builds, there is no library to share between the plugins and the 
application. So you can't have plugins.

Qt's own plugins, in static mode, are not plugins: they are simply static 
libraries that are linked into the application, just like other libraries.
