Why is the path relative and not absolute for tools.staticdir.dir

tools.staticdir.dir = "static"

is what you see here:

http://www
.cherrypy.org/wiki/StaticContent

instead of an absolute path... why is that?

It can be both. If you use a relative URI you must provide
the absolute
prefix via tools.staticdir.root which can be global to all
the static
sections of your settings.
