The only reason why so many Gold Saints in Omega are not loyal to Athena is because Athena wanted them to have "freedom" over their choices and thoughts. The main problem that causes conflict between Athena and other deities is that they [deities] want to gain FULL control over humans, especially over their consciousness (in a way, they want humans to become like robots- knowing their place and responsabilities to worship the deities). The seventh sense is another key requirement that would allow you to wear the gold cloth. Remember how in the classic series it is said that if you don't have a strong cosmos, you wouldn't be able to wear the cloth/armour as it would weigh you down and be a hindrance. This fact is another reason Shun, Shiryu (besides his lack of 5 senses), Hyoga and suppossedly Ikki cannot wear their cloths/armours due to the cosmic leprosy stopping them from raising their cosmos. As for Seiya and Saori, we know that Seiya may be wounded and MIA (missing in action) and Saori is a human pillar in Mars.
