^ And I think someone is reading far too much into what are necessary abstractions for the sake of gameplay, progress and interface. The mastery ranks for example would be completely meaningless "in-universe", as realistically there's el zippo nada authority that would or could enforce the gear-access limits. And who the Hell is supposed to be measuring and keeping track of the "mastery points" gained from leveling stuff? How is that supposed to be measurable in the first place? The 'Frames are the only real exception to the latter as their progress can be viewed as the Tenno inside re-learning the functionalities of the suit and how to better harmonize his/her VOID MAJYX energies with its systems and whatever - but the freaking GUNS...?

Personally in the rare cases I can be bothered to not just handwave the whole issue I just figure the variety of 'Frames at your disposal represents "in-universe" a group of Tenno who've pooled their resources in a sort of small mutual assistance society.
