But then that makes something massively redundant. Either they came up with the lobotomization first, so the Tenno as controllers solution becomes unnecessary (which seems to contradict the story presented, as it's implied it was the Tenno calming them that got the entire thing to work), or the Tenno solution comes up first and lobotomization becomes unnecessary.

The only thing I can think of is that they stopped using human "cores" as part of Warframes—for some reason unrelated to the frames' usability. But not only do I not recall this being mentioned, I also find it really neuters the impact of something that was foreshadowed at the end of the Second Dream quest—if it doesn't outright contradict that. It also still doesn't jive well with the narrative of Tenno calming and commanding the Warframes.

Perhaps some kind of ambiguity like that is on purpose, though. I have no idea.
