I see your point but I don't agree with that. i cycle steroids on and off. mostly off. I have been natty since I started lifting weights for 15 years and have done 3 cycles that were 10 weeks each total. I am currently natty and will not run another cycle till the end of this year at the earliest.
when you go on sleeping pills you get hooked, and without it you can no longer sleep without them. now if you are on HRT for life I would agree with your point. hooked in that without HRT your test levels would drop so yes in that case steroids become dependent.
