No it doesn’t.

Reviewing other people’s PR is a collaborative task, fixing bugs "reported by others" is a collaborative work, updating docs and release notes for "other" stakeholder's consumption is collaborative work.

Unless you're building a house deep in the woods for you by you, you're collaborating with other people on different levels.

Let's be honest, introversion is a gradient scale, maybe we've shifted a bit more towards cutting out the office Watercooler talks but everything we do as a species is still highly collaborative.

Exactly, those are obviously "collaborative" things that can happen by people working alone and without every seeing or talking to another person.

The definition of collaborative that includes "In person" is just wrong.
