My guess is that before the somatic link and surrogate implementation was done using Margulis' work the frames were built around some Tenno in particular, so that these few Tenno had the actual suit built around them and not a proxy/puppet/surrogate like the Tenno that followed, which is what explains where the "original" frames come from.

At first they came up with the idea of directly building the armor tightly around them, but after mishaps such as Limbo's too-big-of-a-jump rift walk [i](that ended up with his parts scattered across the origin system)[/i] or Mirage being lost like that to a battle against the sentients or even the original Valkyr having it the worst by being experimented on in a cruel fashion, they decided that using surrogates (the warframes as we know them now that a single Tenno can equip any of them) would be much safer and more practical.

Through now that we know how a Tenno is like without his/her warframe, now comes the question of what are exactly the warframes?? robots/androids? (semi)mindless cyborgs? because on the climax of the last mission, it's the warframe on its own that tears apart Hunhow's sword, with the Tenno having no means to control it.
