"However, the Orokin created them, and the Orokin had just defeated the Sentients in a war.  Why would Tenno willingly side with the losers against their own creators?"

The Tenno was considered a failure, their sanity and bodies broken by the Void. That only changed during the war, because:

The Orokin could not defeat the Sentients. They did not win that war. The Tenno did it for them.

Before using the Tenno, the Orokin relied on high tech systems, which could quickly be taken over by the Sentients. The Tenno were a comparatively low tech approach, and were indoctrinated to serve as the elite warriors of the Orokin.

At any rate, there is nothing to suggest that the Orokin were nice people. Aside from being intelligent, there is little to suggest they were worth serving, considering their cruel experimentation, use of slave labor and soldiers (Grineer being the basic army), etc.

I can see why siding against them would make sense to the Tenno. It's for the same reason that they fight the Corpus and Grineer -- because the Tenno enjoy opposing gigantic wankers.
