You don't want friction though. Brand new wipers are nice and soft, so glide over the surface of the screen. If they had friction they would judder and be incredibly noisy!
I think the idea is that you spray a bit of WD40 on a cloth and wipe it over the blade, to try and extend the life of the rubber and reduce friction against the screen. If it has too much friction then it'll get f*cked in no time and your rubber will split (never good is it lads?)
The wiper arm is designed to hold the blade against the screen which will give sufficient force to bring a healthy blade into contact with the whole sweep area.
