Loneliness is bad for you if you crave for companionship. If you prefer being alone and people around you stress you, you are better off alone.
There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. If you're content being alone then that's not really loneliness, similarly having people around you constantly doesn't mean you can't feel a lack of connection and loneliness as well.
In other words, I agree with you, but this article seems to miss this distinction...
