The warframe acquisition missions (read that in Darvo's voice) suggest that many warframes were associated with a specific Tenno, so that would explain the large variety.

It's definitely partially canon that the Tenno in the current era build their own warframes, although I doubt it's 100% canon that Ordis can just construct them in the foundry, given he himself barely understand the connection between them and the infestation.

I'd say it's mainly suspension of disbelief though. It's not like the lotus went through the events of TSD separately with each individual Tenno.
