I agree with your parenthetical, and that's also why I usually play alone.
I played with my uncle and some of his friends last year and we were on 15 and he asked me, "Why aren't you drinking?"
I told him, "I don't play golf to socialize."
He told me I was no fun, and I responded that I don't play to have fun, I play to hone my craft.
Earlier this week I went to the course to practice and saw a gaggle of about ten carts around a tree with a bunch of guys bullshitting, squawking about politics, and drinking. It disgusted me because I felt like they were using the game for the purposes you outlined in parentheses.

I was serious for so many years when I was young but I didn't play my best golf until I got older and learned to have fun doing it.
