I like how Microsoft added this but the major drawback is it is Windows 10 only.

There is also mono aot as possible alternative.

Yep, but it isn't quite the same. Mono AOT still requires Mono to run the executable, it just doesn't use the JIT engine (when passing in --aot=full command line when executing your program). It doesn't create a native executable.

Sure it does, how do you think Xamarin creates native executables for Apple devices?
