why it's in cloth category ?

because the inverse linking method is used to change the syflex collider attribute, envelope_ext  envelope_int

and  the link with proportion or the link 1/10 is for the cloth attribute, stretch / shear / bend stiffness, they are always in proportion

and if you want multiple colliders to have the same friction, you could use the special linking over multiple objects mode.

it just made your job easier when you don't have a ui to tweak the parameters, suppose you are an effects animator ...
