Yeah. I still don't understand how it wasn't all of them if tempering was such an all-consuming threat that a Primal can just lay down on anyone not specifically immune to it. Sure, some of them could have hidden themselves from view. Others still could have been blessed with the Echo and never knew it. While I cannot dispute what has been given to us in game... I just can't help but feel that tempering seems to be most successful on those with weaker wills or who don't actually resist like members of that Primal's domain like the Amal'jaa, Sylphs, Kobolds and the Moogles. (The Ixali, on the other hand, do love their mother. They just seem to want to keep her at arm's length.)
Edit: I... Just gave myself the image of Garuda as a Jewish Mother.
