I mean not really, the Operator has always been piloting the Warframe. That's why when it awoke in the pod, our warframe fell dormant, and why it could only move again once we were touching it. We've always been controlling the Warframe, but it had been so long that we forgot about ourselves, seeing as how we had no need to remember. The Warframes were never independant. If you want a bit of a fourth wall thing, we, the players, are basically the Tenno. We control our arsenal of Warframes.

Warframes are literally just empty shells without our conciousness inhabiting them. They can't move without an Operator, whether that's the Tenno, AladV's neckthing, whatever was up with Chroma, or a Sentient.

I guess a simpler way to put this is there is no difference between ourselves and our Operator. We are the Operater. We are not the Warframe.
