Comment (by joedolson):

 Privacy is about removing a person's data; no part of that necessitates
 that the person has a login or user account. While this issue might need
 some work, ensuring there's a user for a given username or email is not
 the solution; we need to be able to export and remove all data relevant to
 any identity, whether they're a user in the site or not. Plugins could
 save user data in independent contexts, and those need to be considered.
