Comment (by DD32):

 > simpler: the plugin should run the deactivate_plugin hook before being
 deleted no?

 No. The plugin is not active, And therefor, The deactivation hook should
 not be run.

 The plugin has to be first inactive in order for the user to be able to
 delete/uninstall it, So the deactivation hook has already been run at some
 point in the past.
