It's important to understand that the attachment theory was developed to explain why children of drug addicts are so messed up. It was then expanded to children who suffered other kinds of abuse.
When you try to expand attachment theory to try to understand healthy kids in non abusive situations the effect size is usually smaller than the experimental noise.

As far as I know, the roots of Attachment Theory are in the World War II work of John Bowlby, investigating the effects of children separated from their parents when major cities were evacuated during the Blitz. It is much later that the association of insecure attachment and addiction was scrutinized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bowlby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bowlby
