The Orokin used all sorts of "lower" humans to do their dirty work, just look at the Grineer. Sterilized and bred for heavy slave labor. Teshin is the last Dax soldier left, and he is bound by Kuva, which is apparently the blood of the Orokin. Look at what they did to Ordan Karis. Even Cephalon Suda was once human. Wouldn't doubt that the Orokin did all sorts of things to the people they ruled over.

The Ancient Infested are definitely Orokin simply because that's what the virus consumed for matter initially, but that doesn't mean that all Orokin have elongated arms (Hopefully DE eventually gives the Infested more models as well, it's a waste to have such a unique faction and then have all Ancients and Chargers look the same, etc.) The Infestation, if it exists long enough, tends to grow into plant like forms, specifically fungus, like those found in the Derelicts, Ancients, and on our Orbiter, as well as those white "plants" in the Void Towers. You can see it with Nidus too, the Infestation looks fungal af even if it's nanomachines.
