About 25 years ago a great friend started bailing on plans that we made every time a guy asked her out which became quite often at one point. I had to address the issue. I phrased it in the manner of how it made me feel to be fobbed off. It was a tough subject but we are still friends to this day. So maybe a few times in a century.
I have enough faults that I appreciate acceptance but I've also experienced the unexplained dumping so honesty is important but you have to pick your battles. They need to be deal breakers. The way the original post was phrased expressed entitlement as I read it and personally I don't feel entitled to correct another adult without darned good cause, especially a friend.
I think if you are "old" and "true" friends you have already accepted the person's faults a long time ago and they have accepted yours.
The only time I would say anything is if they came to me with a problem and I felt it might be the direct result of a fault I had chosen to accept. I would do it very gently in a questioning type of a way.
