It just seems like such a penny-pinching thing to burden people with.

It isn't really a penny pinching move. It is a move to free up the the modem pools so that other users can dial-in and get connection on a contended service. If every dial-up user never disconnected the no-one else would be able to connect. Most dial-up ISP's have taken the view that if you are idle for 10-15 mins then you are no longer utilizing the connection which someone else could.
