You have, once again, no proof. You're positioning a mere guess and opinion of "nothing lost" as fact. You're literally losing every good ending to companion quests, multiple faction quests and even whole companions altogether and trying to tell me that's "nothing lost". Gee.
So with this, I think losing out on companions is a genuine loss. But arguably you're "losing out" one he bad endings of companions and losing the evil fiction quests, so those things are actually roughly equal presumably.
