If when refreshing an orphaned instance the provider indicates it has already been deleted, there is no reason to create a change for that instance. A NoOp change should only represent an object that exists and is not changing.

This was likely left in before to try and provide a record of the change for external consumers of the plan, but newer plans also contain all changes made outside of Terraform which better accounts for the difference. The NoOp change now can cause problems if the change is from null to null, because it may represent an instance with conditions to check even though that instance does not exist.
