We just see it differently, then. I see owing someone as more than just a favor and not required to be burdensome. When someone matters to me, it also matters to let that be shown in ways that they feel supported and appreciated. Since I value them in my life, I owe it to them to be a person that is worth being in their life. We can quibble over whether the word has to be "owed" in that sentence, but I don't mind using it since I don't think it's inherently negative.
Might be your lucky day, Murdock. Because I get where you're coming from when I read it like that. You're absolutely worth having in my life. The only question I have left is what will we do with the extra time we got back by not having to bicker about the meaning of "owe"?

[A beat.]
We could always fake bicker to hash it out.
