Oh, no-- not borging someone to a drone in general. Borging them into a drone, and then refusing to transfer them to a cyborg if they ask you to would be, though. Which is an important distinction, I feel. Of course it's to some degree of interpretation, but I see it as a situation of 'this player cannot remedy X thing without my help, it's not unreasonable of them to ask, and I am the reason X thing is an issue to begin with- I should help them.' If the person who borged them knows they would prefer a cyborg shell and refuses to help with that despite it, I would class that as going out of the norm to be cruel.
There shouldn't be an issue of readability with it-- AI drones still have the "SHELL/[AI name]" naming scheme to clearly differentiate them, plus examining will mention if a drone is an AI shell or not... Unless you mean it makes drones feel less special, which- I guess I can see it? I don't neccecarily agree-- but that's something that's entirely up to a matter of personal opinion so that's fair enough.
Either way, I also feel drones being available to nonAIs creates a lot of new potential situations and interactions in exchange for drones being less exclusive. It's a bit of a tradeoff.
