I think that is the point, when the show started Steven constantly needed the gems to help him and he was innocent back then, he didn't know much of anything about Gems until the day he found Lapis then the day he saw the flask robonoid in the warp stream. As he learned more and got stronger he began to not need the Gems to help protect him as much. They're there to raise him with Greg, now they'll be needed to explain just what happened to Pink Diamond.
