If you have nothing to hide, why not make all story and comment removal history publicly visible, like Wikipedia edits.

That would create a bureaucratic nightmare for no significant gain.
Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39232795, which makes a similar point.
That would create one more thing for people here to complain about. People here would just accuse the mods of faking the mod log to hide their "real agenda" whatever that is.
Just enable showdead if you want to see all of that. It's 99% botspam.
Wikipedia can and does vaporize edits.
I don't think revdel can actually fully delete a revision, there's always at least a revision entry left, perhaps with no user name or summary.
