Wow, that derailed harder than an actual train wreck.

Back on track:

It's because Umbra isn't an actual Prime. Umbra came before Prime, grown solely to fight Sentients. That didn't work out. Not until the Tenno were found. Then they could actually fight the Sentients properly and win, and the frames actually could be used as guards and other shit, and that's when the Orokin added a mechanism so that the Primes would get energy from death orb traps to always be ready.
