It's a lot redundant, I was just exaggerating it for the examples. Obviously 
normal use will be merely

import QtQuick.Window 2.0

Window{
}

But the ability to create new top-level windows sounds like the sort of thing 
you might want to turn off in some cases (e.g. if you're writing an 
application scriptable in QML). Making it a separate import makes it easier to 
turn off later.
