If C# code is JIT compiled why do I have to choose a target platform in Visual Studio when building?

If C# code is JIT compiled why do I have to choose a target platform in
Visual Studio when building?

My assumption could be wrong, but I thought that the main advantage of JIT
compilation is that allows a single distributable that the JIT compiler
will compile for the target machines particular hardware.
If this is true, then why can a target platform be specified when
compiling C#?
Thanks.
