Really? I find it quite normal. I for one would be very intimidated to meet with a boss of mine in a setting outside of an ordinary work day. Not everyone’s as extroverted as you, Betty!
I’ve had bosses that I liked, but very few I wanted to socialize with outside of work. Maybe in very small organizations it works, but not in large companies.

Socialization: Familiarity breeds contempt.

I have never had a job (in 38 years) where I socialized with my boss. This is entirely normal for any technical field.

Considering how things worked out when Alex was her boss, Betty is making no sense here.
