warframes are not a robot, but rather a living being we still don't know what, indicated by Alad V's comment, "I looked into a warframe a few times, and it doesn't make sense"

and i like to think that before the second dream, the operator was only able to project their conciousness onto the warframe we started with when we got out of the pod, it doesn't strictly have to be the starting warframe we have.

when the operator was out of the moon pod, the operator realizes that they aren't inside the warframes itself, unlimiting the "powers" they have, and the somatic link was just a tool to project their conciousness onto a warframe without direct link (as in the carry scene in the second dream quest).

also i like to think that the warframes itself do have conciousness, albeit very little, which makes the rhino prime codex entry and the fact that your warframe broke stalker's sword in half by itself, which cannot be done without direct or somatic link.
