[Ready Player One]why does it matter if people are only socializing in the Oasis?

the reason online interactions  aren't emotionally  satisfying (for most people)  is because stuff like tone of voice, body language, facial expressions and physical contact are absent. In the Movie's universe they have tech that can accurately simulate/replicate all that stuff.

Because people don't act the way they do in real life. Wade's best friend was really a butch lesbian who wasn't comfortable with who she was, one of his close buddies was an 11 year old afraid people would treat him abnormally if he didn't pretend to be an adult, and of course we have Artemis who hid her disfigurement behind a confident persona.

None of this is particurally bad, but the whole point of the story was that people were hiding their flaws and insecurities behind an avatar instead of addressing who they are and embracing them. Because for as much as the Oasis can do, you can't run away from reality.

Just ask Halliday how well it worked for him.
