Overcoming a challenge by getting good is fun. In an online game, you could do well because you play well, or as a result of the other players making mistakes. Anytime you do well or poorly against other players, there's a mixture of your skill and their skill varying, which makes it a bit less satisfying for me. I also like RPGs, which are tough to do well in multiplayer.
What is the appeal of difficult single player games...

The sense of satisfaction of overcoming a seemingly unstoppable adversary. It's why, to this day, Dark Souls remains such a masterpiece due to its brutal difficulty.

Multiplayer does this but 10 times better

multiplayer is always just bite-sized matches, though.

Entertainment. Single player vidya is carefully directed to provide a certain experience whereas multiplayer vidya is just random chaos.
