But I think you're reading their comment a little slant.

There are single player games with raiding, but there aren't really single player games all about raiding to the point where it is the games concept. Where it is dedicated to the idea of raiding to the exclusion of other things.
Raiding has its place in single player games (especially in end game content).
Raiding in single player games isn't inherently bad game design.
But are there single player games as raid focused as WoW is? The closest I can think are games that have single player... but still push a multiplayer experience (like Monster Hunter).
As Edax said:
I think there's just a fundamental difference between our definitions of raiding as it pertains to single player games, which is fine. like I said, based on my definition of single player raiding plenty of games employ it.

personally as someone who played WoW in very brief spurts, I find WoW's endgame to be very raid focused but other aspects (story, questing, leveling, transmog, etc) exist without it and there are other sorts of endgame removed from it entirely (a la PVP and mythic+).
