I feel like the series forgets that the younger adult generation in SkyClan did not have a normal Clan upbringing, or even a normal SkyClan-in-the-gorge upbringing. It could add and explain so much, but it's just never mentioned. Their upbringings fall into three categories: 1. raised in SkyClan as the Clan wandered around homeless, like Reedclaw and Dewspring (and Finleap, which maybe explains why he was so not bothered by the idea of switching to ThunderClan to be with Twigbranch); 2. raised as loners in SkyClan's old territory without the rest of the Clan, like Fringewhisker (which maybe explains why she so easily fell in love with Spireclaw, because she didn't grow up with the whole we-have-borders-and-cats-from-other-Clans-are-forbidden thing); and 3. Violetshine.
