Maybe, but when you are dealing with more unusual plants or pricey purchased seed and don't have lots of seed, you don't want them lost to the static! Plus, sometimes with really tiny seed, the static cling doesn't want to release ANY of them.
For things like the dust-like Sinningia sellovii , I posted 25+ seeds per pack but sent at least 40-50 seeds. It still looks like nothing, but they will almost all germinate and result in a "chia pet" if you plant them all in one pot! (Been there, done that!)
(This was even after dropping the pot and losing/burying the seeds in the right third of the pot!
)
