That’s not devoid of truth, but there’s more to it than that.
A pact of absolute partnership is a powerful thing when both parties truly believe in it. Physical intimacy has a huge and subtle effect on one’s entire being, and restricting it isn’t that crazy. Humans aren’t the only animals which exhibit monogamy.
What is archaic is the opposition to normalizing polyamory as well. There are all kinds of harmful knock-on effects of a monogamy-only society, and people should have the freedom to choose without being ostracised simply for not conforming.
Anyone who thinks monogamy would not exist without social mores to enforce it is fooling themselves.
