I'm skeptical. Not sure why as a solo traveler I'd be more likely to cancel than a family vacation. If anything, more can go wrong in the case of the latter.

Business traveler maybe. Not my money and business stuff happens. (Usually they want you to book non-refundable because it comes out ahead in the end.)

Which is why the people involved take good care to prevent anything from getting in the way of those plans.

If you miss your flight when travelling solo, you disappoint only yourself. With a family the number of disappointed people increases accordingly.

Canceled flight is not canceled trip. For refundable trips at least, solo travelers are more likely to cancel and book another flight. Source: done this myself.
