Guys, why does he want to keep me in his life so much?

This male friend of mine who is supercool and directly told we are just friends.

Because he is very busy and like the rest of us however he make an effort and will contact me from time to time. He cares for my well being, he is respectful to me and likes to help me a lot. Now he is genuinely like this with all his friends.

Maybe I am reading into it too much. But why would a man want me around all his nearest and dearest, whenever he has projects he calls me to support. He shows me a lot of affectionate.

Just wondering
