 > Still not sure why such a key link should not be visible at all times?

 I believe it was a deliberate decision for the field to live in that
 dropdown, though I'd be in favor of a standalone Log Off button/link on
 mobile devices.

 > Also, not strictly an accessibility feature, but how will users on a
 touch device find the logout link? Or is there some way that the logout
 link becomes visible on a touch device?

 The dropdown is accessible on touch devices via a swipe, but it mostly
 comes down to whether it needs to be ''that'' readily available.
