Wouldn't you think that is a bit different, considering that since they were born and raised on Sphinx they're somewhat "domesticated" and think as Sphinxians?

The main problem is that the right treecat and person have to meet. Just because someone like Victor would be great with one does not mean he will meet the one that will bond.
All of the recent partnerships are exactly that. They are partnerships, not bonding experiences. Or, at least, there are none that we know of.
Just because someone could be helped by such a bond does not mean it will happen. Michell is Elizabeth's first cousin and was a roommate of Honor but does not have a treecat.
There are not that many bonded pairs outside of the rangers who live on Sphinx.

Since we first read about Genghis in At All Costs, his companion Judson van Hale was the son of a freed genetic slave born and raised on Sphinx, so we've known for almost a dozen years that genetic slaves can definitely attract treecats.
