It gets way too much airtime.
Every time someone complains that they miss their coworkers, someone just has to comment that "you should make friends outside your workplace" or, worse, that it's "unprofessional" to socialise at work.
As if those two things were mutually incompatible. You can have friends outside of work (some of them may even be former colleagues!) and you can still be friendly with your coworkers and enjoy seeing them.

But social media, and HN in particular, is filled with people saying that you should basically only contact your coworkers via work channels for work purposes during work time and anything else is wrong or rude and is bad and you should feel bad.
