Thats meson's problem :-) , if you tried to dlopen everything you'd just
end up with stuff not working because distro's didn't realize they
should ship that library, this is why autodetect feature in autotools /
meson was bad.

I don't think there are really good solutions to these problems, just
ones that are slightly less bad or slightly different to others
