Nah you can still have high population density in businesses/venues whether people are coming from houses or apartments. Only difference is whether they have to drive 20 minutes through suburbia to get there. It doesnt feel any less dense when 90% of the land has zero points of interest besides houses so you simply drive past all of this nearly empty space to get anywhere.
If you don’t care about going anywhere and just want to sit in your backyard admiring the grass most days, then sure, you do you.
Not to mention the fact that a single cookie is nearly half your daily caloric needs
