Comment:

 This has been a design choice. In the past, the activation hooks ran but
 not the deactivation hooks (as too many plugins would remove data on
 deactivation).

 The suggested method is to utilise a 'plugin_version' option, and upgrade
 any options, and database tables when plugin_version != Hardcoded version
 in plugin file (And do it when is_Admin() or similar).

 See #14915
