He's been attacking a strawman. Nobody asked for friend classes. 
People have been asking for the ability to restrict access to 
non-friend class members inside a module. Even Rust gives you 
that by allowing struct implementations in in-file submodules.

(Dislaimer: I don't care about "class-private".)
