It's a checkbox when you log in.

Most likely because people who do not want to use "stay logged in" would also appreciate quick log-outs since browsers use cookies to keep your session alive. I'm guessing that if one doesn't have the "stay logged in" box checked the cookies are destroyed when the tab or browser is closed, but I haven't looked at the Forum code to confirm that.

I think it has to do with reducing the load on the forum server.

It's been this way for atleast 15 years, maybe even since the forum was started in 2003 .
Personally I use https://mybrowseraddon.com/tab-auto-refresh.html set to refresh https://bbs.archlinux.org/index.php every 290 sec to prevent getting logged out.
