What you're calling "primitive" (perhaps with judgement) is part of the system that perpetuates our collective socio-biological process in poorly understood ways.
For all we know, liking ppl until we're at scale is highly adaptive (in an information-theoretic sense) for sociality as a whole, and not some broken primitivity :)
