AFAIK, you wouldn't want to install X without also installing some other things like bash, at least. I would think you'd want other tools like 'cp', as well. Since people always complain that the minimal installation for cygwin (which is the default) doesn't have enough stuff in it, I don't really understand why the minimal installation + X would have too much.
One scenario is the stand-alone xserver which just acts as terminal for remote access.
How would you manage remote access if you didn't at least have bash, though? Run xterm + cmd.exe, maybe?

Remote access as in running a remote xterm and displaying it on a local X. Either that, or XDMCP. The first obviously also needs some other way of connecting to the remote machine (e.g., telnet).
Note that it also works fine with any ssh implementation, such as PuTTY.
