Different usage, I think: if people are talking about "language not expressive enough", they're referring to mechanisms for generating C#, or IL, not things further down the toolchain for AOT.

System.Xml.Serialization, for example, relies on generating assemblies at runtime to work. That's "code generation", but of a kind that directly conflicts with the AOT meaning of "code generation".
