JIT runtimes try to give you both.

It starts interpreted, but if you run for very long, it runs compiled.

But that costs memory and startup time.

Most JIT runtimes also can't produce a standalone binary

Pretty much all JITs have tools for standalone binaries.

People usually don't do it because JITs are heavy so they'd prefer to share them.
