That's really a problem with the tools, not with the module.  Demanding that
users of a dynamic language use only static linking is really silly.

Wouldn't it be better to invent a (pragma-level) syntax so that a module can
inform the tool about its intentions?

(removing the pywin stuff from the module would hamper development of new
features, and also make it harder to verify that the _subprocess module works
as it should).
