Both good points.

Nah... X is really not as large as one might think. The X server used
on iPAQs, (using kdrive aka TinyX), weighs in at 733kB. Together with
core libraries and fonts, the whole package can come in at about 2MB.

Getting rid of X would give up so much functionality, there's really
no savings here that would be worth the effort.
