We're talking about removing the idle autokick that removes you from an instance after 10 minutes of no input, not the duty timer. There is no "AFK'ing indefinitely".

The AFK timer can and should be removed from solo and pre-formed duties. The instances will still close as failed when the instance timer runs out.
