^^ Yes. That's basically it.

Only Tenno weapons have Prime versions. That also applies to Warframes. And, these Bratons, Burstons, Hikous, Lexes, Nikanas, Scindos, Lokis, Novas, and everything else are just industrial cheap knockoffs of the original Prime versions made at a much later date by other people. That's why they're not as good. That's also why they have no unique interaction with the Void. That's also why they're cheap and doesn't look that flashy. You don't make gold-plated pistols for the average Joe. It's cost inefficient.
