Why would you have that happen? Serious question. Isn’t that putting kids in an echo chamber and restricting their access to friends?
An issue with most criticisms of home-schooling is they are (sometimes) true, and it depends a lot on the parents.
However, parents home-schooling are often well aware of these pit-falls and compensate, do after-school sports for e.g. So common characterizations of home-schooling often highlight all the possible down-sides and overlook many of the possible up-sides.
While not being wrong exactly, it's an incomplete picture - people talking about something they have not experienced.
There seem to be quite a few assumptions in your thinking.
Nothing ever always' anything. Thinking in terms of always or never is pointless.
So with that in mind, rereading the post I responded to:

The answer is obvious.
In seriousness, and without snark, I would like homeschooling to become more common explicitly because I think the US is failing so many kids (from a social perspective). Bullying is crazy, and social-political nonsense is making its way into textbooks. Not to mention the school shootings.
I think for many kids school is fine. But, speaking as a person whose schooling experience was specifically _not fine_, I would like it to be more normal to have other options.
