Why not?  Launch on demand, and explicitly launched.

It is, so long as the DISPLAY set matches its bundle ID.  Check /var/log/system.log when you launch it.  I'll bet you see a message to the effect of "DISPLAY does not match id, unsetting DISPLAY" which then causes the launched X11 to behave as if launchd doesn't exist (since the launchd DISPLAY is owned by a different server).

This could have been extended into launching an invisible, temporary, and very simplistic X client that X11 gets launched via launchd? And why wasn't Dock removed when it bypasses launchd?

What does Dock have to do with anything?
