What's wrong with that kind of song, in my opinion, is that people generalize that all old and/or single people are pining away dying of loneliness, and then they extrapolate that all they need is random people stopping by, which is often far from the case. Those songs, while beautifully written (with a very broad brush) are insulting, also in my opinion, to those of us who are not depressed sad sacks.
