You don't have to pay for dotnet AOT.

Actually you do indirectly, via Windows licenses, Office, Azure, Visual Studio Professional and Ultimate licenses, C# DevKit.

Also you are forgetting AOT first came with NGEN, .NET Native, commercial, and on Mono side, Xamarin had some price points for AOT optimiztions, if I recall correctly.

However this is a moot point, you also don't pay for GraalVM, OpenJ9, or Android.

You don’t have to pay for Java AOT either. Graal is free.
