Does AMD use a statically linked OpenGL?

AMD uses the dynamically linked system libGL.so, usually Mesa.

So you still need dynamic linking to load the right driver for your graphics card.

		Most stuff like that uses some kind of "icd" mechanism that does 'dlopen' on the vendor-specific parts of the library. Afaik neither OpenGL nor Vulkan nor OpenCL are usable without at least dlopen, if not full dynamic linking.
