Well, I used to think that. Back in 2004 when it started, you could and wanted to see all your friends updates, and even for years afterwards. Now, it's probably less than 10% of everything you'll ever see, others are purposefully hidden from you. Facebook was a social place, and was supposed to be "the place to keep in touch with friends", so yeah, wanted to see 100%...

But then everyone around you and me joined as well and now an average Facebook user has over 300 friends (I myself have 568); there's no way to keep up with all their updates even if everyone sent just on average two posts a day. And that doesn't even include various thousands of pages one liked. If they let everything in unfiltered, it would probably start looking like Twitter - a place I don't frequent because it's just damn too noisy for me even if I follow just few dozen people.
