I don't think so. Not in every case, anyway. The number of times I've been in an Internet cafe or hotel using a shared PC, in a rush because my taxi is waiting outside and I need to book a hotel in the next city...

It's one less thing to worry about. Sure, they could have a keylogger, or a dodgy version of their web browser - but it's one less thing to worry about when you're already in a rush.

For the super rare exception, why not just explicitly log out?
