How often do dead traitors get cloned? Practically never, because no one's really interested in reviving someone they know is probably going to kill them or blow up their shit. Giving borged traitors an automatic emag or other exemption from the laws just encourages people to not Borg traitors either, so instead of having less fun as a borg they get to have NO fun sitting around as a ghost.
Of course, this guy wasn't a matter of dying and being revived - he was INTENTIONALLY borging himself. Why? Well, I don't know and I wasn't there, but probably because borgs get a lot of advantages over humans and that's probably part of why they're saddled with the laws. Borgs are tougher than humans, immune to heat and cold and space, get all access, have the same door bolting/shocking powers that the AI has. and get overpowered stuff like infinite RCD or infinite patches. From a balance point of view, it really does need to be difficult to turn yourself into an unshackled Borg or else every standard traitor would do it once they've finished placing their bombs.
