I think native RI’ers just have an inclination to stick with what they know.

They don’t like to drive far, many of them have never traveled much (my mother-in-law had never even left the state until middle age, when my spouse and I took her on a trip), they just kind of keep to their own bubbles both geographically and socially.

I hear you. I've been in RI since 2010 and have not made a single, long-standing friend. Plenty of acquaintances, plenty of new people I get really excited about due to hitting it off at first and then the relationship fizzles out. It really seems like people stick to the friends they made during childhood and I didn't move here until my 20's.
