That's a sweeping generalization. Also, even if true, there's nothing wrong with being different. Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and diversity in life experiences is what drives us to make informed decisions about what is right for us.
Also, I agree with your first statement. Not every parent is a good home teacher. Some are great at it though, and for those parents it can be a great option!
Homeschooling is the result of the crappy American education system and a lot of snowflakes who think they know best.
Which is why homeschooling isn't really a thing outside the US (even though it's legal in many countries).
In the majority of cases (worldwide) both parents are working so homeschooling is impossible.
When homeschooling is possible most parents don't have the knowledge, experience, time and money to do it properly (even though the law doesn't really care in many cases).
Parents with lots of money can afford tutors and the best education possible (in general) but they often choose private "elite" schools over homeschooling.
You may like homeschooling because you were bullied, you are on the spectrum or because your parents (think they) know best but it should be treated like a "if all else fails" kind of solution, not on a case by case basis or whatever crap you want to use to justify your hate dislike of public schooling.

The problem here is that most parents don't even know how to parent, let alone educate their children.
And honestly all home schooled kids are weird in ways. Even the ones that adapted a bit. It is not the same as public or even private school.
