Note to self: Always trust "white papers" that say things like "This
is not a sales-pitch."

Maty, could you cite examples "many" vendors you're talking about?
Otherwise this has little value and cannot be vetted.

Regarding your "Non Linking Code" example, there's a reason we want
the libraries so we can accurately compile the code - with the code
sample given, external libs could be filtering either user input or
the sql statements.

I'm writing this as somebody who has used several major SCA tools - a
quick glance of your company's site looks interesting, but right now I
feel like I'm being marketed to.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
