Apps and web pages are different use cases. An app you expect to spend a moment "installing" and are likely to use regularly, so AOT compiling is useful. Web pages on the other hand are often visited briefly and a few seconds delay can make a huge difference difference, and often contain lots of script executed only once or not at all - so AOT compilation would actually hurt performance.
