This existed in the form of gas refunds. Removing state significantly reduced the gas usage of a tx.

It was removed, in part, because it created some bad incentives. E.g. gas tokens - where tons contracts were created when gas is cheap with the sole purpose of being destroyed for a refund when gas is expensive)
