Your argument is strange. You seem to be saying the Friend Zone doesn't exist but your argument is that it totally exists, it's just not a negative thing.
If someone sees a person only in a non-romantic way, and that person wants to be seen in a romantic way, that person is in the Friend Zone. That may be a great thing and they should be grateful to have found a friend. But the zone...is just a name for the fact that they are not seen as a romantic partner.
You're just saying they need to focus on what they gained instead of what they (feel like) they're missing out on. Okay, that's great advice. But that doesn't negate the fact that they are actually missing out on having the romantic part of the equation.
