Comment(by jeremyclarke):

 I did it that way to be the same as {{{wp_widget_description()}}}, which
 is also why I put it in that file (its right below).

 IMHO its worth having it as its own function, an example use would be to
 display the description in a theme when a sidebar is missing, rather than
 having default content:

 {{{
 if (!dynamic_sidebar('complex') {
      echo "<div class="widget">";
      wp_sidebar_description();
      echo "</div> \n";
 }
 }}}
