As they refer to instances, and, by definition, there are no instances associate with static methods, how could that make any sense?

Bear has explained why not in static.
instance methods can use both super and this , as both keywords meant to associated with instance.
"this" refers to current object.
"super" is used to call a method on the base class that has been overridden by Child.
