If the Borg behaved like the hive-mind from Pluribus - friendly but compelled to assimilate ("Everyone is happy here, we promise") - I think that would have been a lot more interesting in the same way it makes Pluribus so interesting
One of the best things about DS9 is that they touched on the idea that those outside the Federation see the Federation as exactly how you just described.
For me that kind of ethics play and such is part of what is missing from new trek.
