Native Image does exactly that already, but producing an AOT-compiled-and-linked native executable is not the goal, it's just a means to some goal. The real question is what is it that you want to optimise? Is it startup/warmup time? Is it the size of the binary? Peak performance? Developer productivity? Program functionality? Ops capabilities?

AOT compilation certainly doesn't give you the best outcome for all of these concerns (regardless of the language).
