I think a lot of sitcoms rely on it because it's a way to create conflict without needing to create a bad guy.

Malcolm in the Middle is an example of a show that didn't rely on miscommunication for every plot and I realized during my first streaming watch through that there isn't a single recurring character on the show that I'd consider a decent person.
