Installing JavaScript files into the hard-coded /var/www directory
isn't always appropriate. For example, I am working on a project at
the moment where /var is mounted as tmpfs, and I don't want any
persistent data there. It's also not uncommon to structure things so
that JavaScript files are in a subdirectory of the main /www or
/var/www "web root" directory.

Does that make sense?

I totally agree with you about adding a Buildroot-wide configuration
item for this, and probably also a similar configuration item to allow
for a custom css install path.
