This is likely for compatibility. /usr/bin/ is the same (/bin is a symlink to it) so there might be old software expecting /usr/bin/X11/...

For instance, I type "cd /bin/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11". Then type the pwd command and I am six directories deep in yet another X11 directory. /bin/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11 Since it doesn't appear to have an effect on disk space, I typed "ls -ld X11" and it shows it's a link to ".", the current directory. output of "ls -ld X11" is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Jan 29 02:30 X11 -> . Clearly some process is creating or did create these symbolic links to the current directory.
