Well, I don't think he/she said "he can"t maintain friendships". The suggestion was that he needed closer friends.
And, I think it's reasonable to question how close his friendships are if they are dependent on Facebook.
But, that's probably true of society in general, wherein we seem to be trading quantity for quality where personal relationships are concerned. And the generation coming up now has almost no reference point as to any other way.

He didn't join Facebook because he was losing friends, he joined Facebook because of the social friction NOT being on Facebook caused. This is both less coercive and more insidious.
