Expected behavior

The 19.03.0 client release notes include "Added support for Docker buildx.", and the various distribution packages all include the cli-plugins. It seems reasonable to expect that the static binary release also would.
This is exacerbated by the usage documentation implying you can expect DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled docker buildx to just work; and the error message docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 "unknown flag: --platform" not being clear you are missing a plugin.
This has caused issues like docker-library/docker#156 in the downstream docker image.
