Wasting that much power and hardware for complete invulnerability at all times would detract from achieving perfection. A more perfect system would instead adapt to achieve an acceptable level of fault tolerance with a minimal level of interruption.
I think more of it as knowledge. They wouldn’t need to have it on all the time; but since it’s a tactic commonly used by the Federation, you could use it when encountering them at least, because they know this and have all the past experience to be prepared.
They do kinda explain that this is essentially what they do. They don’t really waste time or energy on minimal threats. And yet that ends up also being not so cool for the Borg in the end, just letting a few Starfleet people wander around their cubes setting bombs and shit. 🤷🏻♂️
