What's interesting is that throughout the different startreks. They touch on disconnected borg greatly depressed and missing the collective. There is less fear and more collaboration in the borg. And while individuality is reduced. There are still subtle differences between individuals and smaller groups. Though some accept and desire more individuality. And yet here we are today with so much interconnectedness and how lonely and disjoint so many people are. I definitely have things I'm embarrassed about but if there was an optional to join/leave collective I think it'd be neat/great.
We all only get to experience our single life. But to have opportunity to have memories and experience many more just sounds enticing to me. Borg isn't mindless. It is a collective where ones arguments don't need to be debated because you can reach better consensus because you can fully experience and understand the counterpoint and why views differ. We are all blind to our own anecdotal experiences.

General symmetry breakup process guarantees that uniformity in highly interconnected environment wouldn't be a stable state, ie. it means the necessary emergence of non-uniformity, basically individuality, at different scales - personal, group/team, cube, ... It is just that such individuality would look different as it will be driven by emerging non-uniformity instead of just physical barriers of our skulls.
