In Ante_Luce's fics, being a seeker isn't so much a matter of your frame, but your coding, culture, language, code of conduct and such. It was explained in one fic that Vos and Praxus were once one city (or maybe twin cities?) and all citizens were considered seeker-kin, and they were one big happy family until politics happened. Flightless seekers were those who had all of seeker programming except the flight protocols. They don't fly, but they still form trines (Prowl,Smokesreen, Bluestreak), and have a private language that no no-seeker-kin can understand.
I don't know if all above was Ante_Luce's original idea, or was it borrowed from somewhere else. (If so, I'd bet it was from bunny-farm). If you're curious about more detail, check out her stories. They are great and very neatly cataloged. I recommend tags 'datsun trine' and 'flightless' for a start.
