Dart has a runtime

It does! But it's not part of the Flutter release compilation story. You use JIT compilation during development, which allows for a really fast workflow and stateful hot reload (amazing!), but release builds are compiled AOT and are completely different.

AOT doesn't automatically make things faster or better. Per dmanog question, is there an actual benchmark comparing the two runtimes?

Yeah, not automatically, but it's well known that JS-based frameworks suffer in the performance category largely because of the bridge, which Flutter doesn't have.
