Perhaps removing the option to disable mySB integration is in the best
interest in the future of LMS.  Or last least put a statement in the
information box that keeping integration active allows Logitech to
continue to support LMS.  

I use MySB when I just need to stream music from the internet.  I
figured out a while ago that if MySB does not get used by enough people,
someone at Logitech will pull the plug.

For a guess, is it MySB accounts or devices connected to MySB?  If
devices, then is it only Logitech hardware or does it include all the
hardware (pis, etc) running squeezelite?
