It is strictly from a marketing point of view, the fact many roam the game with aura mean many people see them, this is what we call publicity, the more people see them, the more some would developed a need or a will to get them, if half of people turn option off then indirectly yes it could financially hurt STS on the long term.
And also, i am playing with a cheap samsung tablet and even with an old ipod sometimes, i have never feel any lag cause by those aura, so the question is what is the real reason people want to turn them off? yes i am sure some want for technical reason but i am sure also there is many who want this option for the wrong reason
This is just my point of view,
Thank you
