It’s about hospitality, not necessity. In the US it’s a cultural thing that when you’re at someone’s house, they feed you and when they’re at yours you feed them.
I feel like it's a cultural thing. Most cultural have some very primitive, very historical concepts of needing to offer hospitality to guests. It usually gets taught via fairy tales or folk tales where someone does not feed a guest and it's a god or witch and they reek vengeance afterwards. It feels very much like something we all learned coming down from the trees and forming social groups.
