I never understand this dynamic, why not hire the friend after like 6 months of contract or whatever?

The product is old school PHP. They want to convert it to Go but none of the young engineers are interested in touching the codebase. My friend is the reverse instead, uninterested in learning new languages/technologies.

So neither of them want to hire each other.

Because that would be a big pay cut for the friend. Contract day rates are higher than FTE day rates.
