Fuse #22 is for Body Control Module-Ignition 3. What in the world is that, and why would someone take the fuse out?

Yup, the manual shows four actual power feeds to the BCM ... Fuses 9, 13, 23 and 25. Fuse 22 is marked as powering the BCM ... but it is an "empty" circuit .... it doesn't feed anything.

It is powered when the ignition is in the ON position ... so it would be useful for add on devices you want to have switched.

Just to confirm what others have said, this is from another post,

"Just read another post that says fuse 22 really doesn't have anything to do with the BCM. Rathere it is an unused switched source of 12 volts that others have used to power aftermarket add ons."

Default BCM Uses only ignition 1 & 2

Just to confirm what everyone else has said, I've recently spent a lot of time with the wiring diagrams in the service manual and know the BCM does not use that circuit. I didn't realize it is hot and had just assumed it was disconnected. Thanks for the info!
