I think you are spot on, and while it seems ridiculous to even me, the "friend" association really bugs me on Facebook. I realize it is just a label on a website, but the implication of adding someone to my Facebook friends list seems to be that I have some relationship with them that I absolutely do not. Thus, coworkers aren't my friends on Facebook, but I have no problems adding them on Google+. That, combined with the immediate emphasis on limiting who is shared with from the very start makes Google+ a lot less stressful to use. Sure, it is a minor thing, but still pretty important.
