Not at all, there are lot of games that are better when played with friends. Titles like Halo, Gears, and even the LEGO games, really lend themselves well to the co-op experience, but there are also games that should remain single player, such as the Batman Arkham Asylum/City games and Skyrim, and as long as developers know what games suite co-op and which should remain single player, I'm good.

The only reason I can imagine for keeping the Arkham games single player would be combo-blocking; y'know, where both players end up attacking the same thug and one guy ends up losing his combo for it. But then good team work could strike that issue out. Batman: Gotham City(my anticipated title for Arkham3) has absolutely no reason to remain a single player experience. Especially when they've created such a well-rounded alternate character for Robin.
I don't see why putting in co-op would ever be a problem. Co-op is a blast, and even when the multi-player modes are just co-op against AI, I'd much rather play that than play PvP. I prefer co-op style game play to adversarial. Much less fighting, and you're happy when you and your partner do well.
