I don't understand that either. It's like they're saying, "We want you to have friends, and visit them, but not as many or as often as you could..." What is that supposed to mean?
I think what EA may be trying to do is encourage us to keep our actual RL/internet friends whilst dropping off the friends we added just for farming/visiting purposes. My playstyle is that of a grinder - I visit all my friends regardless. But I can see how EA wants to keep the original intention of friends - to encourage you to talk with your other TSTO buddies and spread the word about how good the game is. (As opposed to just adding 99 stranger's names just so you can level up faster).
It's an interesting method they're using and it's starting to work for those who are actively trimming their lists. However, for the majority, it just means that those alphabetically listed first get the advantage.

But, if I play the game daily and give them my money, isn't that enough? Should I also drum up business for them?
From the perspective of a techie, maybe all the friend visiting is just using up resources? I bet their server or data transfer costs are huge, but it's mostly because of friend visiting or something like that. Though your perspective makes sense as well. The profits from donut purchases should be enough to cover the costs. Maybe they're just trying to cut down as much as possible from their end.
