Why did android go from full AOT in 5.0 back to a mix of the two? I remember when AOT was "hyped" (not really, but talked about) for Lollipop, but I never heard about why they went for a mix instead?

Imagine LLVM compile times for every single Play Store update, additionally there were some restrictions in reflection usage.

Also there are several optimizations that are only possible after having PGO data, and that was lost on AOT at installation time.
