I can actually see what you're trying to point out and there's something established that bothers me. Prime Warframes (as far as lore goes) are the 1st ones of their respective Frames, comparable to a master copy, from which most of the frames are based upon (I believe Valkyr is an excemption to this as it/she is a captured frame, tinkered and possibly tortured by the Corpus, leading to her skill set). It would make sense going with it, the "copies" reflect the same stats though not the polarities.

For weapons however, that's where I'm kind of iffy about (lore-wise). If we're going with what Primes are for weapons, then we'll find that inconsistency. Though one may think that the "weakness" in the non-prime versions of the weapons are due to "cost-cutting" as far as mass production is concerned, or the loss of quality (stats and gold bits :P) of these non-prime version are due to scarcity of materials, it can be a plausible lore info but a weak one at that.

I dunno, DE might prolly look into this someday.
