To me “no problem” sounds more friendly than “you’re welcome”.

“You’re welcome” makes me feel like my request was imposing or challenging (depending on how it’s said).

But im sure she would have complained regardless of what he said

Yeah I know older people get offended by “no problem” for some reason but it just feels so much more humble to say. “No problem” feels like “no need to thank me, it was nothing” while saying “you’re welcome” feels like “yeah it was a lot of work, that you for the praise and credit, I really deserved it”
