Totally disagree. I am introverted and shy and have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. I used to work in an office where nobody ever ate lunch together except on special occasions, and was relieved that I wasn't pressured to go to lunch every day. I was perfectly happy with the situation and would have probably agreed with you at that time.
I recently moved to an office where we have lunch together almost every day, and I am much happier, and work a lot better with the rest of my team.
I agree being forced to go to lunch every day would suck, and there is more to a happy work environment than lunch, but as an introvert having been in both situations I'd take a job where team lunches were a regular thing over one where they never happen any day.
