I'm still confused. Why is runtime compilation a component of the "system", but aot compilation is not? Why are python interpreters a component of the system, but microcode interpreters and aot compilation not?

If you haven't given a clear definition of what "the system" is, I can't really use your evaluation to influence my decision making.

That difference is irrelevant when your production system is updated a lot, or when you actually need the runtime compilation, which a lot of programs do. Even on mobile and embedded where you would think this wasn't true, the customers still really don't care if given the luxury to do so by a fast CPU and high capacity battery.
