Huh? Why would it need such a variable for that, instead of getting
this info from the fact that you're replying to
`file-name-all-completions' (or `file-name-completion') rather than to
some other request?
And why would it be called `non-essential' instead of `in-completion'?

That's an example.

That's the particular justification for not prompting the user.

The fact that she hit TAB is enough indication. But in icomplete and
company, we request completion data even though the user hasn't hit
anything like TAB.
