IHMO, it is useful.
Consider a configuration, where a have a CS toolchain already installed somewhere on my host, I want to use it, but I want to avoid an extra download.

BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CODESOURCERY_ARM201305=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CODESOURCERY_ARM201203 is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CODESOURCERY_ARM201109 is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_ARAGO_ARMV5TE_201109 is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD is not set
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREINSTALLED=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH="/path/to/toolchain/usr"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREFIX="arm-none-linux-gnueabi"

That's why the global enclosing is required. Generally it does not look to be a bad idea to prevent download when BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD is not set !
