When all sources are available, linker is merely an implementation

That’s assuming all the code is written in the same language, compilable
with the same compiler.
For typical non-trivial open-source projects, this is usually not true.
And consider, even with C, the meaning of top-level “static” and the
implications for compiling the source in separate pieces versus all at
once.
Even in old days of small RAMs, super-popular TurboPascal suit had
modules, but I don't think that it had linker.
The programs it built had sizes in, say, the tens of thousands of lines at
most.
