I’d argue there’s a difference between socializing and being bullied - the former is just more general exposure to social interaction. I suspect the more you get of that the better, I also suspect you need it from peers too (adults are not the same).

There’s also some value in learning to stand up for friends and handle complex social dynamics which don’t go away when you become an adult.

Being removed from this entirely is probably not helpful, though obviously there are limits.
