>>107507842>Why the Warframes couldn't just be robots rather escapes me.I see it as it gave them the chance to humanize, empathize and connect with the Tenno. Having them being kids helps propel the idea that the Tenno/Warframes are the galaxy's do-gooders by allowing us to say that they have a very basic understanding of good vs evil and justice and are blindly following The Lotus' orders.
It makes the future story beats
The Tenno controlling the power of the Void, Lotus/Margulis "betrayal" and leaving the Tenno to find their own identity (that coming of age feeling) more impactful.
