I think it's hard to make a blanket statement like that-- I'm sure it's true of some people. I think a lot of people enjoy the trope because close family is something they're missing in their life. It may have less to do with the quality of their own close friends and more to do with the quality of their blood family. When you don't have that, you're inclined to look for it elsewhere-- and if you don't build it among your own friends, you look for comfort in fiction, it doesn't mean you don't have good friends, even good lifelong friends. It just means that fiction is heightened.

I mean, there are plenty of things I love in fiction that I don't see or expect or even WANT in my real life. I like those tropes because there's no reason a fictional world can't be like that, because sometimes it's fun to see things BIG, including the depth or length of relationships, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the real world not being like that.

Signed, someone who has a lifelong friend who is family (but who doesn't need them all to be)
