If you read the linked bug, you will notice that we do create
ascii-friendly accents as needed since we switched to unicode. There
zero need to handle ascii differently from, say, latin5.
LyX doesn't know "ascii" as encoding; we therefore need to translate it to an encoding that LyX
understands. LyX understands latin5.
TeX documents can have different encodings. The last listed encoding is
the document-wide encoding.
Please. Imagine at least that I know that and that I may have a reason
to ask :) My question is why we do this weird "only do this if we have 1
language and 1 encoding" dance?

You question sounded more general therefore my general reply.
To answer you question precisely:
When having only one encoding, this encoding can be set as h_inputencoding, otherwise
h_inputencoding must be set to auto (the one of the document language). This is done in the routine
for babel, but there are TeX files where the input encoding is specified before document or babel
languages. Therefore do nothing when there is more than one encoding in the routine for inputenc.
I now updated the comments a bit to make this more clear.

Removing something that one doesn't understand is a bad idea. Imagine
you stop the water cooling of an atomic powerplant because you think its
unnecessary ;-).
Read again. I did not remove any code, I asked. However, you will have
to try harder in order to convince me.
Well you wrote: "I'll just remove the code I do not understand and look at what
happens"
I could therefore not resist to drop a funny statement.
