i don't see decreasing self sufficiency of borgs as a very good solution to helping flesh out their responsibilities more. for one, what does module swapping and upgrade installing really add to roboticist interactions? a whole lot of "hey install this thing. k thx bye". see: cell installation. unless they're doing it manually by opening the borg up, its a one click thing that often times doesnt even require more than one sentence of interaction between roboticist and silicon. honestly, i wouldnt mind if cell replacements Always had to be done by hand. repairs as well, since theyre pretty trivial to do with the dock and give little downside to a borg who's using light limbs.
there seems to be very little meat to the department outside of the borgs themselves, which is why i think this often comes up. medical fabs print cyberorgans. they often dont even need robotics to do transplants, unless a limb is missing. there are some interesting suggestions in this thread, but i'm very much against decreasing qol things like simple mod installs to give them something to do. after all, it... really isnt that involved of a system, so its tedious to both people involved. self sufficient borgs aren't the problem, its that borgs are basically the Only Thing roboticists have.
