I imagine so. But note that this isn't really a problem with remote work per se; it's a problem with working in a way that is different from what the vast majority of people do.
Once upon a time (before the Industrial Revolution) most people worked at home. The kind of loneliness you describe was rare, because home and its environs were where the people were.
Maybe there is a societal "hump" we need to get over. If more people worked remotely, then working remotely would become a more pleasant thing.
