Whole program optimisation would require a recompile at every system update wouldn't it? With lots of apps that would be pretty costly.

Every Android system update already has stage where it prepares every app.

Every time there is a system update, it recompiles all the apps.

I still have a Nexus S. With early versions of ART in Android 4.4, booting the system and precompiling everything took more than half an hour! Current hardware is much faster, though.
