Check these possibilities:
● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by a technology administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

SOLVED
It’s a quite easy solution.
ITS PROMPTED in macOS but none of the iOS26 or iPadOS.
There’s a limit of 6 members of a family in apples family. I had 6 members. We are more members in our family, but Apple has a limit.
Im happy to leave this replay here as an solution as this was not clear, printed or answered in any search I made.
Yep, it is one Organizer and up to 5 members for a total of six.
With Family Sharing, you and up to five other family members can share access to Apple services like iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple TV+, and more. You can even help locate each other’s missing devices, share your location, and manage a child's device with Screen Time and parental controls.
How Family Sharing works - Apple Support
Android devices have the same limit of 6 in a family group.
Thank you for your replay
None of the suggestions applies to me.
I have no screen restrictions on me (other than the instagram app).
I have no managing via vpn.
so the issue is still: I can’t add any other member to my family account. Neither can my wife.
I can’t add member to Family. Button is greyed out.
