It's just how I worded it. Like I said, Sei isn't tapping into Hanullim's power, he taps into his own strength. Those two no longer work together in any way, so that's why there can be no release states. And yes, this isn't a method solely limited to Sei, I think most Hakuda Specialists, who strongly believe in their own strength, probably end up forging relationships like this or even cause their Zanpakuto to genuinely feel hurt or betrayed by their masters. Any number of ways. Each relationship is unique in its own way, and just like real relationships, they too can come to an end either prematurely or when both parties feel the relationship has reached its natural end (the latter being Sei and Hanullim). As I've said, I suspect something similar may have happened to Yoruichi, or she simply hasn't reached this point quite yet and simply chooses not to bring it with her.
