Except that the transmissions clearly show at times that the Operator feels whatever pain the Warframe does.

Also, a person talking to an avatar like a separate being despite being controlled by themselves isn't really particularly novel or strange IRL, I know a lot of people - including myself - do it when it comes to video games and stuff. Hell, see the example of military bomb disposal robots: the robot has no mind of its own and is completely reliant on its operator for control, and yet the soldiers who operate it treat and talk to the robot as though it is its own person, to the point where they actually get traumatized when said robot is irreparably destroyed.
