I might be wrong, but I haven't ever heard statics can't be used in regular functions, nor they can only be used in class methods. Although such behaviour is not clarified in the documents, references are explained enough for me to expect that functionality.
However I agree the name of the test is slightly confusing as I mentioned before (this is not directly relevant to the #20175 indeed), and I think too that is actually a feature request.
