Surprised no one said this but with how non-game breaking it is, other than visual, I can kinda see why it's been swept underneath ;
With the release of the Mode : Reactor Sabotage of Update 18.5 03/04/2016 , upon picking up either the Fire or Ice Container, your character model (Warframe / Operator / Drifter) will pick it up, upside down when the handle is facing the floor, and has remained that way even still today.
