Haven't played it, but from other coop games I can say there are:

People playing casually and not feeling well after accidentially shooting a teammate;
Teammates going all toxic about being shot.

I love FF playing with my friends and other people, but sometimes I got kicked for not doing something right, even if it's just others' person opinion. Turning off FF is just a sticky to cover the hole in the wall.

If this happens, the problem is not the game. If people get angry over a fucking game, then they're not worth my time.

Imagine chess players feeling sad for sacrificing one of their own pieces.

Indeed.

Fair points, but i question whether someone feeling really sad over a teamkill is good advised with this game. Honestly everyone dies all the time to friendly fuckups, i have yet to meet a diver who actually gets upset instead of manically laughing in voice chat.
