 Header images can be cropped because they are images, not graphic design
 elements. What would a user be expected to do when presented with a crop
 image control for their logo? Cut their logo in half?

 You are using a narrow definition of the word "logo". Yes, in a case where
 a user has a custom properly rendered logo, cropping it would make no
 sense. In the wild, many users will not have a file of that type. Instead
 they will have an image or graphic or part of either that they want to use
 as a logo. In those cases, a cropping feature is important.

 Observing how people use existing logo plugins and the header image
 function, I think this is vital. Making the assumption that people have
 custom logos is not realistic imo. We need to provide workable options for
 the average user.
