Just because a explanation has not been given doesnt mean we can make one out of thin air. one cannot surmize something is something it has never been attributed to when the opportunity was open for anyone in the story to make that determination at the given time. Chad was, in fact all fullbringers were acknowledged as such. Not once was orihime. We dont know what her power is but what we do know is that it has never been considered fullbring in the series nor even stated as anything close to such a thing this is confrimed in canon so we know as much as what direction it isnt leaning in. Also Kido is a shinigami ability as much is having a actual zanpakuto is a shinigami thing. Hachi is the former vice-kido chief regardless of him being a visored anything he develops is in that strain of his origin and skill set prior to gaining a hollow mask. Hollow have their own skill set hence why you only see them putting on their hollow masks to do cero and increase their power. Urahara created his own kido spells as well and there isnt anything that says you cant. Hachi developed more skills in his perferred art. Unless your making the insinuation that he is more hollow and has new rules to his existence. There is no proof of that so you have to go with what the information presents not twist it to fit the context or explain something you dont understand simply cause you need it to have structure. Such as saying remotely that content somehow says orihimes power derive from something nobody in the series ever says she has.

And in a way you're also assuming a lot of stuff.

Just like DarkMuse616 said. If we were to go by normal standards and what is shown, then Chad couldn't be considered a Fullbringer. Because a) All the other Fullbringers needed a sort of conduit for their powers, a object that they were deeply bounded to, while Chad needed none b) Chad also never show any of the fullbringers normal abilities like bringer light. It also doesn't make sense that he's again the exception to the rule c) and don't forget that the fullbringers played a lot with lies and deceit, so to simply take their word on anything is one huge leap of faith.

And Inoue's powers are if anything closer to a fullbringer than anything else. She's clearly not a shinigami or a hollow, and except she has it in her some piece of the Soul King, then we can only logically assume she's a fullbringer. After all if it quacks like a duck, acts like a duck, then it's most likely a duck.

Also remember that one of a fullbringer main characteristics s that their fullbring is not only unique but it also represents their personality. Giriko was obsessed with time and so his fullbring "Time Tells No Lies" was all about the numbers on his watch. Riruka had her "Dollhouse". Jackie had her "Dirty Boots". Yukio and his game console "Invaders Most Die". And also notebly Shishigawara "Lucky Number 7". All these powers were strangely unique and some even defied reality itself. Reminds you of someone?

Also why would the hougyoku give the powers of similar nature to both Chad and Inoue (and by similar I mean that they were unique to their users and fit more of a fullbringer powerset than anything else), if not for Ichigo special reiatsu. Remember back to Aizen explanation of how the Hougyoku worked and by logic Chad and Inoue shouldn't have any powers at all. He said that the hougyoku connects to the hearts of the people around him, and realizes their deepest greatest desire, as long as they had it in them the power to make that desire real. If Ichigo simply let out reiatsu even if Chad and Inoue absorbed some of it, they would still not possess any power of their own. And as such the hougyoku wouldn't have done anything at all.

And as a side note. Captains and vice-captains receive their limiters for a very simple reason if you'd think about it. The mere presence of Aizen even far away nearly incapacitated Ichigo's friends. Now imagine a Captain or Vice-captain going to the real world without a limiter. Any person they came close to would most like faint or die from the spiritual pressure. And although Ichigo before receiving the badge did give off his reiatsu, no one ever fainted or died because of it. So what he gave off was so faint that it shouldn't have been a problem. Maybe the badge was really only to keep tabs on Ichigo and like Ginjo said, to control and analyse Ichigo's reiatsu. Maybe, that's all it was. Or maybe there was more to it. And until Bleach ends we won't know for sure.
