This isn't about tone or opinion - it's about logic.

Automatic login is a feature the developers included in the operating system.

Since it's a feature, it should be documented.

The Documentation Team's job is to document the software, right?

If the Documentation Team questions the value of a feature, what is
the procedure that should be followed?

Wouldn't the sensible next step be for the Documentation Team to take
the issue up with the developers in an effort to have the feature
removed?

If the developers agree to remove the feature in future releases, is
the Documentation Team obligated to document the feature for the
releases it's available in?

If the developers insist that the feature will not be removed
because it's valid/necessary/important, is the Documentation Team
then obligated to document it?
