Because no-other-God-before-profit capitalism is optimizing away all human-to-human social connections.

Nah, some parents just suck as humans. I’d cut my parent off if I didn’t provide them housing and financial support to survive. They are unwilling to become a better human, but will die eventually. I am meeting my moral burden.
Family is who you choose, not shared DNA percentage. Sucks to suck, try not to suck, parents aren’t owed anything from a social or relationship perspective, it isn’t a choice to be born and you don’t get to pick your parents. If my kids cut me off when they’re adults, then I failed, not them. Parent accordingly. Freedom and choice about who to associate with.
