@jarkko: I see your point, but surely you must concede that the approach you are suggesting has huge implications on the manner in which tests can actually test the code and thus the way in which developers are "allowed" to write code?

Cross-compilation is comparatively niche to the greater ecosystem of code and tests that are written. Yes - there's some value in the IoT space to write full-stack tests, but I will not concede that there isn't value in tests coupled to the code itself. There is value in *both* to be sure?

i don't really have made anything in my professional career that does not require a separate host and target device.

i neither work on IoT space, it was just an example.

@BryanBennett also anything deployed to the cloud has this separation. so you can sort of scientifically/formally say that 99% of time unit tests are run in a contaminated test subject. it is not really an opinion but the actual reality.
