Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, thanks for the ticket.

 Interesting, `wp_get_password_hint()` was initially used on all of these
 screens, but somehow got phased out as part of UI updates. If I had to
 guess, it was probably to clean up the UI, as the password is now
 autogenerated by default, and it can be up for discussion if the hint is
 still relevant in that case.

 Some history here:

 * [29962] introduced `_wp_password_hint()`.
 * [30033] renamed it to `_wp_get_password_hint()`.
 * [30940] dropped the underscore prefix.
 * [33023] removed it from the Add New User and Edit User screens.
 * [33246] removed it from the Installation screen.
