All that matters. Having the choice. More features is always better than no feature.
I'd rather see SE spending their time in implementing new features that are going to improve the quality of the game. Taking time away from a couple of people to add extra options to the menu, and implement the auto-logout functionality really seems like a waste of time.

It isn't always a good idea to add additional features and give the user the options. If you do this you end up bloating games with menus, making the more useful options more difficult to find and damaging the overall user experience.

Users already have the only choice they need. Do they want to log out or remain logged in. What does it add to say I'd like to stay logged in for the next 3 hours while I'm out but then to logout?

It might help with server congestion but then I think its really only going to have a noticeable effect if people aren't given the option of remaining online. Otherwise the same people who stay logged in for long periods now will just turn it off and continue doing the same.
