the situation sure may make a roll unnecessary, but sometimes a roll is what makes things interesting.

The tentacled friend is shaking and trying to force their way out, and the tentacle monster may also be moving and fighting something else and the grabbed friend. So a roll to hit the tentacle and not the friend is maybe a good idea.

Combat is chaotic, I usually don't grant free stuff, if there is not complete cooperation you roll. A friend may still try to dodge out of habit a friendly touch spell, unless the wizard first tel the friend it is for something good or the wizard usually heals them by a touch during combat for example, for example, and that will take a turn or two extra.
