I get the feeling that they´re a little more than that, just like how Tenno are more than human, the Sentients are more than machine. Their insides were gelatinous, as mentioned concerning that sample shown in the Crewmen synthesis entry, which could be believed to be a base of something other than synthetic materials, just like our organic tissues form the basis of how we extend ourselves normally. However, their 'frames' seem very adapt to bring in certain characteristics, being capable of hardening if they weren´t already, and eventually they formed a natural connection and control over what looks to be metallic shells, which they´re able to restore for as long as their core is kept from sufficient harm. These shells are seemingly so connected to their base that they either share their weakness towards Void energies or the Void energies work like simple toxic-damage and goes right through the armor.

Simply calling them machines is not gonna cut it, honestly. I kinda like that. There might be much more to them than plain programming that made them become "sentient".
