Congratulations on getting to talk to the people who are actually responsible for the product rather than those who just reiterate the company's position. And, thanks for posting what you found. 

As to whether they will really resolve the "log in to Intuit" issue in a forthcoming update I'm not convinced. And, since I have no faity in Intuit actually responding to users issues I have no intention of applying any update from Intuit unless it's an update to remove the "log in" by removing it, and absolutely no other change and that this is guaranteed by Intuit. I would rather deal with the via Alt-F4 forever than to have Intuit make other unknown changes that suits Intuit.
