Because it heavily implies that your blood/legal family members are automatically going to be more important/more special than your chosen family if you have one. Not everyone has a great relationship with their legal family. Not everyone grows up with their legal siblings and among those who do not everyone has super close relationships. It also devalues the term "sibling relationship" when applied to friendships.

[(Anonymous)]

Where are you getting the implication that it's more important or more special? There's no value judgment in saying a relationship with a sibling has things that make it different from a relationship with a friend. It's just different. Depending on someone's experience, a friend relationship could be more important and special than a sibling relationship. And the term is only devalued if you start from the belief that a sibling relationship is better than a friendship.

To put it bluntly, I'm not making the assumption that sibling relationships are better than friendships. YOU are.

Except they're not necessarily different. And there's honestly no reason to make a really big deal about how ~different~ something is, when there's no measurable, demonstrable difference that applies across the board, unless you are trying to make a value judgment.

It's just like how people talk about how "women aren't inferior to men, they're just different" and then spout a bunch of sexist stereotypical bullshit.
