LyX would still be far more important to the final result than, say,
your display manager. However I mostly agree with your reasoning: it
would be strange to see academic papers cite LyX.

Still, there would be cases where the design is important, say, in
books. If a book (or any other work, say, a poster) was
designed/created with LyX and the author wants to give credit, it
would be nice for her to have an out-of-box solution.
