Impractical features isn't necessarily unthemely.

The Orokin HAD their practical and awesome supertech, but then the Sentients arrived and was able to turn it against them.

Their one option was to turn to the half-crazy Tenno, and mold them into a martial class with powerful low tech weapons. Practically probably didn't mean that much anymore, while appearance came to matter more. The Tenno, being powerful to the extreme, could compensate for such flaws, and no doubt enjoyed the various trappings of the caste more. And if not, there's always a few dozen less fancy but more potent weapons to choose from.
