The way I like to think about it is that training on your own can be boring and sometimes even detrimental to certain techniques

I know that people favour wooden dummy etc but wooden dummy can make you too rigid as you are playing against a man made of wood!!

Training forms help the 'flow' of movements that you do in your particular martial art, and teach you not to do long, time wasting movements
They are not techniques you will necessarily perform in the street but uses the same 'energy and flow' in a street fight
