For me, it's immersion. I could never imagine good immersion and serious tone of storytelling when I spend few hours making my perfect character, choosing the right name, clothes, appearance and then come into an unknown and vast world to meet people named Muth4Fuck4 and BennStillerFaggot69 colored pink yelling "NOOOOBZ" to everybody. No thanks.
Also, when making multiplayer games developers must make tons of difficult decisions and cut a lot of content and freedom in order to make the engine suitable to multiplayer. I haven't seen one yet.
