I understand your point but what happens when that valued, trusted, cherished friend is not available, for whatever reason, during the time of need? That could make the suicidal person feel more pain. Pain that develops into hurt and hurt that develops into a feeling of betrayal and/or abandonment due to overthinking.
People like that is unstable enough as is. So why not just go through the right channels. If not a professional, then at least a support group.
Who of you would actually try to help someone suicidal feel better?

People need to realize nobody can be there at all times. Other people have lives and it's unreasonable for someone to expect to be on call for them.
Most people who feel suicidal get over it, but a few dont.
Also the mental health system is crap. It often makes problems even worse than they were and most people cannot afford appropriate treatment.
I do think support groups can be helpful because people dealing with the same problems can empathize with the situation easier.
Professionals and support groups often aren't available at the moment of crisis
