anyone could shed or explain why FortiGate can't aggregate the bandwidth? What would be the edge or benefit having this kind of functionality? What would be the pros and cons?

    What do mean? Aggregate bandwith could mean a host of things 

     

    [ul]
  •   ECMP
  •   lacp-bundle
  •   SD-WAN[/ul]

     

    All of the above is doable in fortios, fwiw

    a common question from customer if the FortiGate able to aggregate the bandwidth if 2 WAN links have (50MB+50MB) each pipe. If I do speed test the result should reflect as 100MB in my browser.

    I think it's depending on how you test the bandwidth. My assumption is if the test source is one machine (one IP) and the test server is located at one IP address, the test traffic would likely go through only one side.
