As can be seen on the spell page, Find Familiar can only be cast by Wizards. What about Warlocks and Druids? I feel they should, too. Any reasons against?

Familiars are unnatural creatures so Druids would probably not be interested.
Warlocks have access to the spell, but only if they select the Pact of the Chain at 3rd level.
I don't agree that Druids would not want it, at least as a universal rule. If I recall the Familiar can be a fey or good spirit, which is pretty consistent with woodland creatures; dryads, centaurs, brownies, unicorns, ... I could see a druid thinking that was just fine.
I would like to see Find Familiar on all arcane casters allowed lists; Wizard, Warlocks, Sorcerers and Bards, but I'm not keen on that spell being used by a cleric. But, there is a lot of room for different opinions on this subject.

Pact of the Chain does improve your familiar quite a bit, giving more choices and allowing your familiar to attack. It doesn't completely invalidate it, although I do agree it wouldn't really get much use outside of very niche uses. People get Pact of the Chain to have a familiar, not because of the improvements and Invocations. .

if I edit a message, most of the time it's because of grammar. The rest of the time I'll put "Edit:" at the bottom.
With the Eldritch Evocation Book of Ancient Secrets (Pact of Tome feature) it is also possible to cast find familiar as Warlock. You can only cast it as a ritual spell though.
I think it would fit a Sorcerer too, to somehow cast it.

Bards, druids and rangers have Animal Friendship which is basically designed to create an animal companion.
Druids and Rangers have Beast Bond to see through their eyes.
Fair points.
Bards can take it with Magical Secrets. And anyone can take Magic Initiate
