I dunno, I always thought it was meant to mimic organics.

“Cable management” inside the human body is horrendous. So it felt like in the mixing of machine and biology, the machines had to become more biological in the way they worked to function properly in tandem with the Borg biology.

Also, has anyone ever noticed that the Borg don’t have printers?

Want to destroy the Borg … just patch one 2000s era Epson Printer with a shitty software driver to one of their ships and watch all hell break loose

Cable management doesn’t matter if:

1. You only care if it works
2. You have the accumulated memories of trillions of prior drones, including the ones who built that mess in the first place, so you already know what each cable does and where it goes.
