The author begins" Aristotle categorizes three different types of friendship: friendships of utility, friendships of pleasure, and friendships of the good. "

I question whether these categories are exclusive, comprehensive or useful.

Friendship is friendship. If you are going to divide something into 3 separate sub classes there needs to be a rationale for it as well as a utility. Otherwise it is just conjecture, opinion and useless.
