It's not. You just forgot to remove the corresponding entry from the %files section - and now it can't find the file that you removed - that's all.

Fabio, I know that our guidelines strongly advise against static linking (and bundling in general) but I find it sad to prevent end-users to statically build software on top of Fedora if that's what they want and upstream provides the means. But if that's our guidelines, I can live without the static library and I personally don't care since I integrate %{_bindir}/playerctl in my local setup.
I took the middle-ground approach and built a separate, optional package with the static libraries. The updated commit [1] passed successfully Koji [2][3] and COPR [4]. An updated SRPM is also available [5].
This is obviously allowed, but in Fedora, we just use "-static" instead of "-devel-static". The latter is openSUSE's (and long-ago Fedora) naming for static libraries...
