Nidus is a unique strain compared to the one that makes other frames, cause while the other modern day frames we have get mechanical components in them to channel our Void energy into a certain thing, like fire or ice for example and the body is just made of infested materials. Nidus has a strain that actually likes Void energy as a power source. If you remember, that's why we can't be infested, and that's why the feral Infestation attacks us, they don't like hybrids. Even Helminth will bitch about you if you go into its room.

Although Nidus could probably easily go Umbra like Chroma did in The New Strange or Mesa controlled by Salad V through the Infestation. I had always just figured Nidus could be an early prototype of the stage 2 post-Orokin mass produced regular warframes, like the Tenno didn't get it completely right at first and just tossed their mistake out the airlock cause it was too Infested to put mechanical channeling parts in it.
