As far as I can tell, it isn't always. I have a Brackett kit on mine, and the screen is still there.
Maybe it's removed because it's a) kinda redundant and b) subject to the oversight where someone changes the spin-on and forgets that the screen is there and sludges up and if they get in the habit of forgetting, bad things happen. I'd like to know if mine is legally removable. After all, for owner-maintenance on oil changes the most likely spot to create a leak is either on the screen housing itself or the endless screwing and unscrewing of the oil pressure bulb fitting. I will say, regarding redundancy, that when my starter clutch bushing perished a significant portion of the debris ended up in the 'elephant catcher' whereas the big hunks didn't make it all the way to the spin-on. I guess that was just that much less chance of a shard getting stuck in some down-stream passage.
