It's just like how baby birds work, they first thing they see is their mother. Since gems don't have mothers they probably have caregivers until they are mature enough to take care of themselves and Peridot's like the foster child who is passed down from family to family and nobody wants her so basically Steven is her caregiver now. (Peridot probably had a caregiver when she was first born to the time where she's the gem equivalent to a four month old baby then had Jasper then now she doesn't have Jasper, she probably had other caregivers as she matured and now here she is, the gem equivalent to an 8 or 10 year old with Steven as her only option as a caregiver)
