You can't wrap plugins which styles are often deployed as. Even if you build 
Qt with styles builtin your code then becomes non-portable unless you include 
your build of Qt.

There is nothing stopping you wrapping the style classes yourself.

Those sorts of decisions should normally be left to the user, not the 
developer.

You need to build Qt and PyQt yourself as non-static.
