I'm not sure what the foundation for this is. Some of the best ideas I've had have been developed with other people. Role playing games especially are all about collaborative creation. The viewpoint in the article is nothing but tunnel vision, focusing on what works for them and projecting it out into a rule. I'd wager what the author really means is that to have control over their work, and not having to bend their ideas to develop alongside the ideas of others, requires isolation. And that's something I can relate to. But that isn't about creation, it's about control, and fulfilling your personal vision rather than prioritizing a shared vision.
