I beg to differ.

1 whatever we see of loyalists among the traitor legions, they are either terran birth and allegiance (garro), self tought and indoctrinated like loken or sidelined and mostly ignored (qruze and dantioch)

the traitor legion primarchs were more more inclined to send away those that they trusted and that were following them and not the emperor (to use the words of the DG commander "the death lord first and then the emperor"

all traitor legions more or less culled their loyalist elements at calth, istvaan and so on. that was the initial problem the primarchs gathered their troops and send those to be culled that they did not trust.

and if we take f.e. the iron warriors, they were not likely to really love the imperium that did not really honor them but subjected them to the worst battle zones, long campaigns and forgotten guard duties.
