Some speculative answers based on what I know: 1. A lot of single family dwellings are occupied by renters. In this scenario, the renter has no ability to install rooftop solar, and the owner has no incentive to install rooftop solar becaus

AoT uses the same codegen (mostly) as the JIT so if you see a JIT improvement it's possible NativeAOT/ilc picked up that improvement too. Unless it's a runtime-only optimization, like guarded devirtualization... there's

Historically, for loops in shaders were limited in the number of iterations they could run for. Among other things this ensures that rasterizing a particular pixel completes in a known amount of time (and ideally that amount of time is fast
