Premade squads biggest advantage, especially in the end-game, is in my opinion that they are always three because they there are no leavers in premades. When you play solo, you are usually alone if you survive to the end game since everyone just insta-leaves if they get knocked.
But there is nothing that stops us from playing premades tbh. If you cant beat the, join them.
So essentially Apex is not a game you can play on your own if you want a balanced or fair experience....that, quite frankly, is ridiculous and mandating a full premade to stand a fair chance is going to have a negative impact on player retention. I want to play on my own, can deal with crappy team mates, but can't deal with the 4k Pred teams that just stomp everyone because they function as a top tier team.
When there are more than enough people in both categories, teams and solos, and it's recognised that solos perform worse than a team.....well there's no reason at all to try to discourage solo players through that additional artificial difficulty. Premades know how each other play, can communicate via discord to co-ordinate pushes and share heals and also how to retreat....the leaving thing is just an added bonus. Proper teamwork is essential late game and a trio will always have better team work than three solos.
I want to play this game solo, in part because i don't have a functional mic and also because I don't want to deal with performance expectation....you're telling me that I essentially can't if i want a good experience.
