It is a little more nuanced than that.

We don't offer to log out if there is just a single user, and a single
session (ie desktop env). I there is just a single user, and you have
e.g. xfce installed, we currently show 'Switch session'. Unfortunately,
that doesn't work, so we'll replace it with 'Log out'. If you have
multiple users, we always show 'Log out'.

The region panel, where you can switch your language (which only takes
effect after logout currently, unfortunately), will get an explicit
logout button.

You can always end your session by running gnome-session-quit in a
terminal.
