i think you have the reasoning inverted. the et_EE locale is the Estonian language (et) spoken in Estonia (EE), so renaming et_EE to et is about providing a default Estonian language translation regardless of country. if we assume that there is a baseline Estonian language that is mutually intelligible across the world (which, iiuc, is accurate), then using et makes sense.
