Even Maya admits Tatsuya will never betray Miyuki so isn't all this a waste? Seems like the only question would be Miyuki's loyalty not Tatsuya.
If all Maya wants from Tatsuya is to be Miyuki's guardian then a loyalty test is pointless. It doesn't matter what he thinks of the Yotsuba only what he thinks of Miyuki.

As third person's point of view, we may not see environmental differences for Tatsuya even if he leaves Yotsuba and joins the military. So, testing his royal shouldn't be an issue from our perspectives. But, from Yotsuba's view, Tatsuya is the biggest bargaining chip in the time of crisis. From the beginning, we can see people / students who have problems with existing system, and even army is hiring and allocating talented magicians who do not support 10MC system into one single battalion. And, powerful figures like Kudou and Saegusa have been trying to undermine Yotsuba. So, in this kind of situation the value of having S-class magician such as Tatsuya is immeasurable. So, it isn't weird for Yotsuba to pull this kind of stunt to check Tatsuya's royalty.
For your second comment, I also share similar views. But, I think, it is Japanese cultural environment. They technically draw a line between family members and employees. Tatsuya is no longer a member of family and labeled as a employee, so their treatment on him is fair from their standard. At this point, I am starting to think, Maya purposely kicked him out of family to hide the identity. If he is a mere bodyguard, nobody would suspect him as a secret weapon. Based on vol. 15's spoilers, only Maya and 7 branch leaders know about his true identity. So, I am assuming even Miya was not fully aware of what Tatsuya can do. She may know a little bit of Material Bust, but she may never know about its full capability. Or, she just had enough ball to use living WMD as a porter.
But, Yotsuba's strategy of concealing his identity worked too much, and it isolated him from the Yotsuba, and as a result he does not hold any royalty to Yotsuba at this point. Miya's mental surgery may have been another factor, but as readers we can see Tatsuya can show royalty and friendships to close peers. In vol. 13, his decision to stop P-dolls for other students' safety proves, the surgery is not the main factor that drove him away from Yotsuba.
Will their treatment change? Yes, it may be possible if he becomes official S-class magician. I think, the story may also develop into this direction.
If something happens to Itsuwa Mio, Tatsuya has to come out in order to take the job. If he becomes official S-class magician, his power and influence can expand.
If this really happens while Tatsuya continues distancing himself from Yotsuba, Tatsuya can become an extremely dangerous enemy. He may not hold grudge, but he will not show mercy if Yotsuba and he get into conflict.

AYAKO-CHAN!!
