NO!
Friction can be beneficial in some scenarios, like providing traction between tires and the road or helping to grip surfaces. However, in certain situations, such as in machinery or moving parts, excessive friction can lead to wear and efficiency loss. So, it depends on the context whether we want to reduce or control friction.
People want to reduce friction to make objects move more easily, to save energy, and to prevent wear and tear on surfaces. Friction can slow down movement and create heat, so reducing it can improve efficiency and increase the lifespan of materials.
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
Normally you would not want to do so. If there was no friction, you would slip right off the bench onto the ground. You need some friction in order to stay in one place.
Reducing friction helps to improve efficiency by reducing energy loss in systems, extending the lifespan of components by minimizing wear and tear, and increasing the speed and ease of movement in various applications.

no, actually many inventions or things work on the basis of friction for example a pen it works on the basis of friction.Anything that would once be in motion would never stop.

Professional bike riders want to reduce friction, because friction is a force of two objects rubbing up against each other, therefore slowing you down.
Because if there is less friction, the road would be very slippery, therefore more dangerous
reduce friction
Friction always want to retard the motion of a moving object. So friction slows down and finally stops a moving object.
I am not sure if you would want to decrease the friction on your hands, because in the case of using a screwdriver, for example, the friction causes your hand not to slip. However, in a situation where it may be beneficial to reduce friction, anything from sweaty palms to greasy palms would work. (they reduce the frictional coefficient) As an alternative, since frictional force is F = mu * N, you can also reduce F by reducing N (the normal or perpendicular force). In other words, if you want to decrease the friction, don't hold the piece of equipment as tightly.

Yes, that's why the Zamboni must come out to refreeze the ice and fill in the grooves. The blade heats the ice slightly as it skates over it. It creates the grooves because it melts the ice where it glides.
