I think it actually used to be there but @hashar got rid of it over 6 years ago for undefined reasons (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/9796 - the exact code that does it got moved around later) - comment there refers to @Reedy? I wonder if we should put a commit up for review to re-enable it.
CheckUser stores PI in the form of (at least) IP addresses. And as basically anyone can get an account, anyone can look at the database and see the information.
As there's no way to neuter CheckUser to not store this, easiest answer was to just undeploy it
If someone wants to add some config to it so it doesn't always store that information.. Maybe we can redeploy it.. But feels kinda hacky
