(Doesn't >> it seem like that shouldn't be a thing these days?) There are still a limited number of nodes available on a BBS. If users logged on and left it idle, it would be possible that eventually, all the nodes could be tied up due to that and another user would be unable to log in. That might be unlikely these days though, especially if you have many nodes configured for your BBS. Aside from a human user though, it's actually fairly frequent to have bots connecting to your nodes on telnet, and without that timeout, they'd probably just sit there and leave the node occupied. Without the inactivity timeout, it could be very well likely that bots could log in and tie up all your nodes, preventing users from being able to log in.
