How would it improve it, though? Dynamically-typed languages tend to introduce gradual typing after a while to increase reliability and predictability, and the end game of that (static typing) is the antithesis of late binding. Message passing only improves security by adding a validation layer, but managed languages (JVM, CLR, etc.) effectively do the same.

That’s very similar to microservices, and look how messy these tend to get. The internet scales well because it’s a network with flexible capacity and attached processing power, and because its clients are either human users who can deal with failure modes, or software with stable and well-specified point-to-point protocols.
It’d be a big improvement. Rather than call a linked library function you’d send a message to whatever it was you needed the library function for.. this reduces the buffer overflow exploit potential and what not. That alone is a huge win.
