This will be fixed by the tutorial redesign. But currently, the Tutorial does use a PhoneStage to show its mock apps during the right-edge tutorial.

The problem is not whether the Tutorial uses a PhoneStage or not. The problem is that it's unnecessarily loading it (just to trow it away immediately) during start up in a desktop environment. Which is a waste of CPU/Memory and negatively affects system start up time.

Yup, agreed. Like I said, a rewrite is in the works anyway.
