I was thinking the same thing while working on this patch, the problem is that most bits of code starting the xserver have already been patched to start it with "-nolisten tcp", and have their own config file options / cmdline options to override this. Changing the server would break all this, where as just changing startx keeps all of the existing other xserver "starters" working.
