The issue here is that people immediately said to him, "No, I don't want to be borged."
Implying their characters knew exactly what the artifact did when (I assume, based on the OP's frustration) there was no prior evidence that it was a borging artifact.
They simply used their OOC knowledge that borgs are advised by the borging artifact to get people to touch them, and therefore pretty much metagamed when they automatically jumped to the conclusion it was a borging artifact based on the circumstances.
Sure, I would have been instantly skeptical, and would have no doubt declined to touch the thing, but I'd have given a much better reason for it.
