Many commenters focusing on the ROI part of your comment but I totally agree with your premise based on my own experience as a young person.

How I would word it is younger people are generally less inclined to invest in (real/in-person?) social interaction. I suspect some bar for motivation or entertainment has changed so people don't socialise the same. Probably intertwined with rise in mental health issues too. Be less interested in socialising and it's no surprise the result is less socialising, in one form or another.

In my experience yeah people don't often reach out or reciprocate effectively when it comes to socialising. Or they stick to a very small group.
