An engineer Borg can do anything a ghost drone can and more, outside of picking up objects, and limiting ghost borg numbers does nothing positive if one of those ghost cyborgs is one of the ghost drones you're talking about. If a ghost drone is griefing and murdering crew, making them something that can do it more easily is...just bad.
The rule "Don't interact with players" is exactly as it says. Don't interact with players. This doesn't mean "Don't fix the holes they make". You're interacting with the station, not the players. And if an antag REALLY doesn't want you to fix their damage, they can just bop you on the head til you stop moving, which ultimately doesn't affect anyone but the ghost drone player.
If people are abusing the Ghost drone, get the ghost drone number and Ahelp them.
The thing is what happens when there isn't an admin online to deal with the drone? The drone can then proceed to depressurize and grief everything with infinite respawns. And for an antag killing the drones they can just respawn with little to no effort invalidating the time it took to get rid of the drone in the first place.
