There isn't enough room in the cryotube for an arsenal of Primed technology. We're also currently unaware of the circumstances that necessitated the Tenno to be put into cryostasis to begin with. It may have been done in an emergency scenario, thus the Tenno may not have had the time to 'pack their things' for their trip into cryostasis.

Another possibility is that there are Tenno who brought Prime technology with them into cryosleep, but those Tenno ended up getting killed while the Grineer (like Vor), or the Corpus raided their cryostasis pods for Orokin Technology. Thus, the only Tenno who survived in order to wake up are those who did not have Prime tech in their tube with them.

And while the Tenno may not have Prime technology from the get go, there are Tenno artisans who have tried to reverse-engineer the familiar weapons the Tenno used in the Orokin Era -- and why getting their hands on the genuine thing is such a big deal, since it is what they are most familiar with.
