This plant of a friend seems to only produce calyxes. Is this a genetic thing or could it also be due to some kind of stress? If it is because of genetics, do you think this could be worth saving by taking a cutting?

It’s not an argument, only cannabis growers (incorrectly) call it a bract, it’s a calyx by plant nomenclature.
Maybe don’t just read cannabis material? You can learn a lot more from general botany. Uneducated growers have been calling it incorrectly for so long, that people following along are now incorrectly saying it’s the correct term. And people like you perpetuate it. New growers see old growers using it, reference that, and now you’re quoting it like it’s gospel.
It’s a calyx, the bracts protect them, sorry dude.
Edit, holy fuck dude, read your own link, picture from it

The bracts are below the singled flower (calyx)
Actually, we're having an argument about it right now!
Cannabis growers, botanists, scientists. As research on the plant has been allowed in the last decade, these specfic structures have been defined, that's why it's the modern definition.
