No you're thinking too much the cause of loneliness is living alone. It 100% starts and ends at how we live in modern society. Living spaces that have shared communal spaces for essential requirements like a kitchen, dining table or a Television room will end loneliness.
I have no doubt about this. The problem is, people living in these communal spaces complain about the lack of privacy or ownership. People don't know what they want even when the answer is in front of them. Humans have conflicting individualistic needs and needs for companionship as well, the dual nature of our desires actually evolved under communal living spaces so in actuality, despite the fact that you desire privacy, you're actually healthier if you give in to the alternative desire of companionship. People do need to own things but not to the extent that communal living spaces are abandoned.
What people think is that we're designed to search for this state of satisfaction even when living things aren't actually designed to ever reach this state. There is no evolutionary advantage to a creature who is perpetually content and therefore you will never be content. That being said my theory is humans are actually designed to live in communal spaces while being a bit discontent about the lack of privacy or ownership. This is the natural state of things similar to how you have endless desires to eat greasy unhealthy junk food but your desires are not evolved to be in an environment where such food is plentiful.
The alternative is to give in to your capitalistic desires and be lonely. I believe this is the worse alternative from pure anecdotal experience and from the way humans lived anthropologically in the past.
