    The Bynar are very tied in like the borg but it is all willing and for the most part they retain individuality at least down to the couples level.

    Only reason the Borge are hated is the forced joining that removes individuality. The federation likely has no issue with the whole cyborg part.

      Generally even ex-Borg, like Seven of Nine, aren’t disliked or mistrusted because of their remaining cybernetic implants. It’s almost always about their connection too, and implied complicity in, horrors and genocide.
