My speculation, based on your info: Seen as the world had gotten corrupted by the virus, the Lotus organization managed to get a hold of the first prototypes (Hayden, Mezner and Nemesis), and to try and figure a way to fight the corruption or either manipulate it in order to become adapted to it. Later on they lost some of the technology to the Orokin, thus having grudge against the Orokin but at the same time helping in creating the warframes.
