Yeah they are nice; they've been trained to be. A lot of their issues though only pop up later in life, like in college. Things like struggling with deadlines, since now teach isn't mom who needs to go shopping and will let you turn in your homework late, or who can be bullied to do so. Or remedial ed; a lot of homschoolers are massively deficient in math, since very few parents can teach it.

There are issues with the ones you don't meet; lax homeschooling regulation and oversight can easily cover for parental abuse, and unschooling can really mess up a kid too.
