Well, the thing is, Easy Company isn't all that famous. Or rather, it wasn't until Stephen Ambrose chose it for a unit history published in 1993, and then turned into an HBO series in 2001. Prior to this, Easy Company wasn't that much more remarkable than any other company in the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. Ambrose had a penchant for hagiography, something I have touched on in criticism previously. Any impression he conveys that E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division was somehow a truly unique unit in terms of the level of camaraderie, talent, or experience is sheer and utter hogwash. There are quite literally thousands of published accounts that detail the war experience of individuals and units, and you will find tons of them that talk about 'bonds the brotherhood', or whatever you want to call it, that are just as strong as you find in "Band of Brothers". Certainly, by virtue of being an Airborne Company, which meant more motivated volunteers with additional training, E Co. can not unreasonably be placed in the "above average" category, but it was far from unique.
