From a trouble-shooting standpoint if I know that client software in
question is focused on particular users/databases being able to only enable
connection logging for those would make sense. Whether that is a true
production concern is another matter but the possibility does exist.

I personally do not get how a logoff is a risk auditing event. Logons and
actual queries I can understand.

For the same reason keeping them separate has merit since for imaginable
circumstances the logoffs are noise but the logons are important - and
forcing them to be on/off in tandem disallows the option to remove the noise
from the logs.
