Honestly, how did we end up in a situation where some website has a complete list of everybody's friends and family email addresses and doesn't grant you access to them?
One culprit is probably spam. Your email address became something to hide for fear of being spam bombed. This prevented any sort of universal person->email directory from being feasible and necessitated an intermediary sevice like facebook to share contacts publicly.
