It contains a set of classes, not only a header for a library. Also, the C ABI does not allow classes, so if the GLScene team would move all relevant parts to a shared library, they would need to create a flat API without direct use of objects. I never used GLScene. GLScene integrates directly into the IDE, but it can also be used without it. I've seen a similar behavior in Java applications which included the whole code for a 3D engine directly into the application.
