Haha thats pretty interesting actually. Perhaps the reason why the enemies of the orokin were called "Sentients" is due to the fact that they were actually sentient and independent with their own wills. In a sense, perhaps the Sentients were humans with their own independence, their own will, their own intelligence that gave them the adaptability that surpassed the orokin. The orokin on the other hand, were probably under the control of another group of beings, whether those beings are human or not, that stripped other humans under their control of their wills and independence. MORE importantly, connecting back to the point about the war and the Lotus, it appears that perhaps the Tenno realized this in their fight against the sentients, the difference between them and the sentients and thus betrayed the orokin at the wars end. However the existence of surviving humans such as the corpus, grineer, and the resistance prove that the tenno did not eradicate everyone but only the orokin who lorded above the humans they controlled. SIMPLY SPECULATION.
