Comment (by grahamarmfield):

 That's very true helenyhou - however Twitter, Facebook and Google, despite
 their popularity, are not known as sites that feature accessibility very
 highly - as many, many blog posts will attest.

 The short answer is that motor impaired keyboard/speech recognition users
 will find it much harder than mouse users to log out of those sites too.

 As well as the accessibility angle, I'm thinking about usability too, and
 I don't understand why it's so bad to have a permanently visible log out
 link with the WordPress admin screens.
