discord.js - Does discord limit what information can you get using a bot?

Question

I wrote a quick discord bot as a joke, that just sends a gag message to my friend every 3 or 4 days. However, I could not find my friend's account using client.users.cache.get() or client.users.fetch(). I made sure the ID I put in was correct, to no avail. I then tested it with my own account, which worked perfectly fine. The only difference was that I was in a server with this tester bot, and everyone else in that bot-dev server could receive messages from this bot. I also realized it is impossible to get other information, (friends, etc.). Is this intentional, or is this simply a bug?
