JITs also tend to optimize for compilation time over final performance. Doing ahead-of-time superoptimization or polyhedral loop transformation isn't going to happen in a JIT.

There's no restriction on the kind of optimization a JIT can do. Perhaps there's a current implementation tendency. In contrast, ahead-of-time (data- and platform-ignorant) compilers are restricted.
