AoT requires some big changes as the trimming step can massively break reflection.

So they've had to put a lot of work into things like serialisation, DI, asp.net etc to remove the need for reflection.

Luckily we have source generators to fill the hole left by reflection. But they can only be used when all information is available at compile time so doesn't always fix the problem but in many cases it's fine.
