From what I understand, QGIS doesn't actually require GRASS at all, except that certain plug-ins do require GRASS. Omitting GRASS from a standalone QGIS installer would cut down the complexity and size of both the installer and installation on host computer. If GRASS functionality is required by a Windows user, then a OSGeo4W should be recommended.

We had a poll a while back, and it turned out that the majority of QGIS
users used the GRASS plugin.
