Well, poor Eren because he spent 5 years without knowing the curse but he was still full of passion and rage though.

Anyway, the fate of Armin is just about as same with the warrior. Because before the warriors become warriors, they're just  desperated to get out from the ranks as an Eldian, where the marle gov treated them soo badly. They don't seem to know anything about Titan other than "they're the reason of your damned status", they don't know the curse and The marle offered them honor, wealth and title as marleyan to their family, of course they will accept it in a heartbeat.

Reiner said this once, with a regretful tone " if we know what they will do to us, we won't have accepted it " that means the marle told them AFTER they received the power, just like our heroes here
