See my [comment above](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/109020#discussion_r1769375600).

I hate to be so pedantic about it, but I would be worried if users used this flow of 
```
(lldb) settings set interpreter.save-transcript true
... do various things they want to save ...
(lldb) settings set interpreter.save-transcript false
... do various things they don't want to save ...
(lldb) session save 
```
This wouldn't work anymore if we early returned.

To your point though, I guess they could always re-toggle it before that last session save, and maybe it would be better for the average user.

Anyway, that's why I decided to make this commit so conservative.
