"stories where girls had a range of personalities and interests and still all got on" was a huge fad for book series in the 80s and 90s. The Babysitters Club is the most well-known example and possibly what popularized the fad, but there were dozens of others. Girl Talk, Saddle Club, Pen Pals, Pony Pals, Magic Attic Club, Diary SOS, and more. I've been visiting their pages on Goodreads for nostalgia lately. And according to the "similar books" recs, it seems books like that are still being written, they just aren't huge hits like I guess the YA books the OP is talking about are? (I haven't read any popular YA except The Hunger Games, and have personally never seen this "pit all girls against each other" in any of the YA I read)
