Wizards who don't learn to interact profitably with muggles cut themselves off from most people in the world. Cutting yourself off from most people in the world is a life-altering mistake.
I am probably already cut off from most people in the world. A large fraction, possibly of a majority, of the world population can't speak any of the languages I can speak.
But I'm only ever going to interact with a tiny fraction of all the people in the world anyway, so that's not a big deal. And if I have to choose whether to have 150 wizard friends or 150 muggle friends, I'll surely pick the former.
