Parent article: APT Rust requirement raises questions

Does this imply the static binaries you advocate for are a lot less secure, cause - other than perhaps the initial base address of where it is loaded - all the other addresses are a known entity? Does it not significantly reduce security, by largely negating ALSR? (So far as ALSR provides security - I'm aware there is the odd bit of dissent on the merits).

Not with the PIC (Position-Independent Code). The kernel itself does relocations when the binary is loaded.
