I wish services didn't store IPs at all.

If abuse is an issue, why not hash the IP with a nonce?

Sometimes there's a forensic purpose. For example, you want to know which servers exfiltrated your data and to which IP.

Or for audit purposes (e.g. you might need to prove to some regulator no outside access was made, which is stupid but ...)
