And going beyond the focus of just incels and the like, it seems a technological solution is necessary to fulfill the full romantic and sexual desires of most people in general. At some point things like AI chatbots, immersive VR porn, sexbots and so on seem inevitable.
Lack of romantic/sexual satisfaction isn't the key here. That's what sex workers are for anyway, and even the technology you mention isn't going to magically resolve loneliness. Chronic loneliness is a product of genetic/predispositional factors as much as (or even moreso) than environmental/circumstantial factors.
People suffer chronic loneliness partly because of personality-related reasons. They may have some insecure attachment style, some personality disorder, and/or score high on the need for validation from others.
