Then you're speculating.
This is true, but not all start/stop systems are the same.
Start/stop technology is still relatively new, and unfortunately has been combined with manufacturers suggesting the use of thinner oils, longer change intervals, and start/stop technology. The difficulty isn't in finding that these things are detrimental, it's in separating which one has the worst impact. My vote goes to the oil used, and the change interval, but that's only because start/stop technology isn't old enough to really see what damage it will cause.

Who's speculating?
Even if there differences in its implementation auto stop/start has been in a number of vehicles for years. Think it first appeared in the mid 1970s. Thus there are uncountable miles of driving and auto stop/start doing its thing and there have been no signs of any issues with the feature.
