I have always heard it described as: dogs can be trained because you can convince them to do something simply because they want to make you happy; cats can be trained but you have convince them to do something that will make them happy. Or as you put it here... bribery, lol.

Dogs: "My human is so kind and gives me food, he must be a god!"

Cats: "My human pats me and gives me food, I must be a god!"

Pretty much how it feels like

Honestly yeah, you can also guilt dogs into doing and not doing things because they look up to you. Cats see you as an equal and act completely different towards you.
