The advantage of adding such variable is that we could use more easily

lazy people could then reuse coreutils mo files, as they contain lot of
frequently-used-everywhere strings, while using their own mo file for
"legacy" strings).
I'm a little confused. My impression was that this hypothetical
option would *disable expansion* in $"...", not *enable translation*
in $'...'.
Correct.
I wasn't under the impression that reappropriating
$'...' for translation was on the table?
It's not.
