I call my standard uncles and aunties by that title, and i call my great-uncle and aunties as bog standard auntie and uncle too.
Lots of people i know call close family friends uncle and auntie, because they were either very involved with the family when the kids were growing up, or like people have said before, it was the best suitable title for a young child (instead of a formal title or unapropriate usage of a first name).
