First of all thank you for your answer. I thought the same way before, until I faced some projects for some companies where everyone had to logout from every website/software before closing their computers. The reason is still unknown to me.
I'm well aware that's a common practice in some other areas, I put that example on purpose because it's a common error to think that "nobody ever logs out" until you find out that some are forced to do so.
I think it's because not everyone faced a project with this issue that many people think "it's not necessary"!

Great article overall, but I have to disagree with the 2nd example, that having a logout button hidden in the menu is wrong.
Logging out is not something users do regularly, so it doesn't need to be visible all the time.
And most users never even log out once they have logged in, they would just simply close the current tab where the page is opened.
So that button would just take valuable space from the navigation, especially on mobile view.
