Yes, but if the DCT were purely vestigial, then:
1. It wouldn't have support for DCTs not in JPEG.
2. It wouldn't use the DCT in its lossy-compression of photographic content if another transform was considered significantly better.
Perhaps one could argue that they didn't want to add extra transforms, but they do use a modified Haar transform for e.g. synthetic content and alpha channels.
