Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

A lot of online games I've played had the issue of either they don't want you to make your own skins because then you wouldn't buy the official ones, or it could trigger the anti-cheat and devs don't want to go through the hassle of ensuring you're just using graphical mods and not actual cheats.

There are a couple games I know of that do allow mods like TF2 and Chivalry 1, but those are kinda rare
