The whole motive here is to avoid a symlink for Windows test runs.  But even if we say "who cares, create a symlink and run it in Cygwin", we still have to remap /tmp/LayoutTests to the Cygwin root, like the Win port does.  Maybe that's cleaner in the end and touches less ports (i.e. only those that *ought to* test on windows).  But the point is, pathToLocalResource still has a purpose in certain cases.

Only a handful of http tests need this capability, and all the bots that regressed can handle symlinks in some way and therefore can work around it by creating a symlink in NRWT.  It's a tiny issue that doesn't need a lot of attention other than getting the bots green asap.
