Comment:

 Welcome to trac @davedoesthings.

 I'm not sure if I love the idea of adding an additional filter here for
 this use case. Core only calls `wp_delete_term` in a couple of places,
 each of them has a check for the `delete_term` capability.  I feel like
 using the `map_meta_cap` filter might lead to a better result since then
 the UI would also be updated to not display the trash link.

 the pre_delete_post bailout was added since deleting a post can be
 resource-intensive, especially on some custom sites. #32933.

 I wonder if there are other use cases for this filter that map_meta_cap
 wouldn't be able to solve.
