When you don't want to depend on .NET runtime. And if there are libraries you want to use that is available in C++, but not in C#.
There is an option for that in .NET.
Oh wow! Since when is this possible? I looked it up, it even works with Linux (and bunch of other OSes).
Microsoft has been working on AOT a lot for a few years now, for the last few dotnet versions. More and more became trimmable and compilable.
I think they added AOT with .NET 6 and they are supporting Linux ever since the .Net Framework, .NET Core split.
