To be fair, the Focus trees were implemented as part of the Second Dream, when there was only a ghost Operator. When War Within introduced the physical Operator, the trees weren't updated to apply any benefits to the physical Operator.

Which is simply to say that from inception, the Focus system has been aimed at strengthening the Warframes...with the possible addendum that they strengthened the ghost Operator as well, although since the ghost Operator is pretty much a customizable nuke on a timer, it's debatable whether it should be considered its own mode or simply a 5th Warframe ability.

All of which is to say, the Operator was previously never part of Focus. If the Focus system's goal was ever to strengthen the Operator, DE failed hard. Which leads me to guess that this is a new goal for the system, rather than an old one they missed by a mile.
