Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

I went to public school my entire childhood, and I’m awkward as fuck. Add that to your anecdote list
There might be something to it, but I’d need to see receipts.
Mostly, though, I’m suspicious of the motives and abilities (lack thereof) among the people who really go for homeschooling.
I was homeschooled and have severe social anxiety and no social skills, whereas two of my siblings having exceptional social/people skills. It’s not black and white, and the bad outcomes aren’t inevitable, but I myself would never encourage anyone to do homeschooling.
My own parents’ motives and abilities were not aligned with good educational outcomes.
