Making your own parties and running LSs is productive certainly but it's not doing it "yourself". The point I believe they're trying to make is that at a certain point you did need groups to progress when content was relevant, or at least most players did. Also there should be a distinction between what content was intended for and what players actually did with it. If it was created for a group, it's group content. If players find a way to get around this and solo it, it was still created as group content. Players simply made it solo content.
