Yes, but 98% of them, like - peple who download gimp for windows, or Linux distribution users,  fetch GIMP from a unified binary source (either the gimp-windows binaries, or linux distribution binaries) , and these builds must be multilingual.
Your change would "benefit" the 2% whou buld gimp from source,a nd even that is dobutfull - I myself use it alternatibvely in English and Portuguese. 
So... it is actually easier if you simply erase the .mo s you donṫ want at the end of the make step.
