1) Because standard borgs were + are overpowered to the point of ridiculousness and having that be free on join for absolutely no effort was silly
2) So roboticists actually have something cool they can do for borgs to appreciate
3) Because light cyborgs look cooler anyways
1. How are cyborgs overpowered by having a regular body. It doesn't change at all what their modules contain, and on start they get a standard head and normal body with normal parts, the only part of a cyborg that needs to be destroyed is the head or chest if you're brute forcing it and the standard head has maybe 50 or so more health and nobody intentionally tries to destroy the chest for the most part. Other easy ways to render a cyborg helpless you might recognize: Flashes which there is tons of everywhere, harmbatons/canes, guns, killswitching, laws, organized attack.
2. Why should borgs have to suffer and waste time because robotics has nothing to do immediately in the round. Most of the time they don't even bother because it takes a good chunk of metal and time to do such a thing. It's like the crap with the power cell, except that's so trivial there's no reason not to do it immediately.
3. They look like poorly made string puppets rather than cyborgs.
