I agree, but it being a defconst, it comes with the message

  "This declares that neither programs nor users should ever change
   the value."

If that's really a the concern then why not write a function to alter
values in a safe manner?

Alternatively, it could stay defconst, and there could be a
org-export-smart-quotes-alist-user, defaulting to nil but taking
precedence over its non-user counterpart.  If people specify a wrong
language code it'll just be ignored.
