Your dismissal of rhino as "mainstream" makes no sense.

A lot of people will use rhino because A: He's the second available Warframe after the starters, and you are given one extra warframe slot for free, so it is common for Rhino to be farmed first. For beginners he's a good frame for survival due to Iron Skin balancing low level weaponry not doing that much damage. B: Once beyond the stage of beginner, he still fulfills tank roles in many missions up to medium/high; still aids in levelling weapons since he can tank damage whilst raking in xp, until players unlock pluto and discover sechura. Also depends on how many other waframes that person has available, whether they are farming for another, for which rhino comes in handy as well.

Once you go beyond that you start seeing less rhinos, as people begin using frames more suited to their desired playstyle and mission type.

If all you're seeing is rhinos everywhere, perhaps all you've played so far is low level missions with beginners on the first few planets?
