That's not an inherent problem with homeschooling, that's the problem when you get homeschooling dropped on you with 0 time to prep. Nearly all communities have homeschool groups that plan activities for children to socialize in addition to their regular home classes.
"Parent-directed schooling" might be a better term than homeschooling which sounds kinda like keeping your kids locked up at home. Experienced homeschoolers have solutions to this problem and nearly every other one you might think of, its just that most people have a few years between when their child is born and when school starts to prepare.
It's a situational calculation and private Catholic school is a great option too, but you can't make a blanket statement about not supporting home schooling for all families.

It's also a case of home schooling while you're not allowed to leave home.
Yup. I was homeschooled. Had plenty of friends.
