API Calls & Framework... IDK

Inexperienced programmer (just started a week ago, no shit I'm just now understanding why classes rock so hard.). If making API calls to linked libraries in statically compiled binaries is faster than using a framework that uses JiT compilation... why do so many people push for the framework and JiT compilation?

I'm not trying to start anything, but I'm seriously curious as to why the later is the preferred choice.

I'm glad you are seeing through the bullshit. The biggest crime against software development is the crime of treating the virtual machine as the platform, instead of the underlying hardware as the platform. This idealization of the virtual machine/browser as the platform has done more damage than garbage collection, object-orientation, and vast libraries and frameworks combined. It has created a generation of software developers and computer scientists who don't understand what's really going on at the hardware level.
