There are straight DX rolls and contests though. Just flipping to a random page in the Basic Set, the Clinging advantage calls for a DX roll. I know there are several others, they just escape me right now.

Not to mention that this is complicated by having the modifiers Requires Attribute Roll (DX) and Based on DX on your advantages... so improved DX that didn't assist any skill or skill default would still have some value aside from its role in Basic Speed.
