Yeah, though you can't ignore evolution when it's staring you in the face, many captive subocs become partially diurnal. And it certainly appears that they "like" being handled and are interested in their keepers.

At the very least, they certainly associate me with food, water, and a clean living environment. But that's okay, I'll just pretend that they love me.

My niece, when she was a toddler, used to kiss my wife on the lips repeatedly. My wife thought that she was being very sweet until she saw her niece glancing in the mirror behind her after every kiss to see if my wife's lipstick had rubbed off on her. I'm sure captive subocs see our "relationship" in a similar light...a big giant friend with benefits.
