Few possibilities:
1. The person that plays alone is not in a corporation or doesn't really know anyone.
2. The person just wants to do a quick game without sitting a channel doing LFS.
3. The person might play solo but then not complain about being solo.
4. The person might only have time for one or two games so getting into a squad is pointless.
5. The person may like the idea of being solo. "Top performer that round and I didn't even have a squad."
6. The person may not have any corp mates online.
7. The person may not want to have to talk to deal with anyone.
The flaw in your statement is that you assume that not being in a squad is the person's choice and that they complain about the solo player. It ends up framing people into a specific position while there are many other possibilities.
I play alone usually. I bounce around a lot. I'll do a game of DUST, hop over to another game, type out e-mails, YouTube, etc. Having a squad generally means having to chain games as they are usually not open to the idea of "hold on guys, I want to catch up on my AGDQ." So, for me, I guess you can put in 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7.

I play aone sometime for some of the reasons you have pointed, i'm asking why some people play alone on purpose and then whine about that solo play is too difficult?
There is a plenty of possibility to squad with other players, IF YOU WANT TO.
My lack of quoting the rest doesn't change too much. It is still pushing people as a "Do you purposefully play alone? Then why do you complain." I understand that you also play alone and it is nice to see that I was fairly close with some of the possibilities. But, yes, I probably should have just quoted the whole post as using an excerpt makes it seem like I am trying to attack you or your statement rather than merely disagreeing with the premise.
The best answer to the question of "Why do people choose to play alone and then complain that the game is unfavored to the solo player?" that I can think of: "Why should it be unfavored to the solo player? Sure it is a team game but why can't I use my WP at all if I am not in a Squad? It isn't even a discussion of 'teamwork yields better results' but a 'why am I crippled just because I don't have a Squad?' Should the game be balanced in such a way that 4 people playing well and playing together can completely route 16 random players?"
Some people might have legitimate complaints. To those that don't and are just griping, well, it is pretty much why the internet exists: to b**** about stuff.

That is an undershirt and drugs on the table away from being an episode of Cops.
