It is 'used' to alleviate the draw of the primary instinct, ime, for example I like listening to neutral newscasts because they draw me out and shift my attention away from being vortexed in constant subjective emotional evaluations, and at least temporarily provide a feeling of being connected with what's happening out there external to my experiences. The even emotional energy of sx-lasts seems attractive and relaxing if only for a short while. Friendship considerations - that would be too subjective, but since the first instinct is used in evaluatory manner, the primary considerations would be something like how consonant you are with their internal emotional landscape to which sx-firsts are very tuned, and so on.
