I'd probably just add to all the good answers here that there also might be a lacking of knowledge around friendship. What good friendship is and takes.

I'm just speculating that abundance, city life plus the internet has taken a toll on social skills in recent times.

And another point, as someone has said somewhere else in here, "friendship" could have just been perpetuated by sitcoms. Probably what is more important is just a community where you see the same faces more often and friendship would generally just be a natural byproduct of that given enough time.
