If someone you don't trust has access to your logged-in profile, you have much worse problems. For example, they can read all of your private mail and send mail as you.

I think you mean their private Facebook inbox. They may already be limiting what they do on Facebook. But they can't clear the history thing.

The potential "victum's fault" is still no excuse.

Someone not looking after their own security by leaving logged in sessions where other people can access them is indeed their fault.

Come on. This is a personal responsibility issue and nothing else.

There's more to it than just logging out. What if you don't want a subpoena to reflect your most visited profiles? There should be a way to purge any data kept longer than the routine access log cycle, including information on frequently viewed profiles.
