This came up as a related problem recently when the staff members who created the categories were force-deleted, their “about this category” topics were also deleted.

Does this mean the feature I am asking for does not yet exist but might be introduced in a future upgrade?

There is a fix in place now, if you are on latest – deleting a user no longer deletes any “About the {x} Category” topics that user created.
