maybe they just assimilated hostile species, but I think they've always been kind of invasive.

I imagine the borg started as a peacefull cybernetic species who radicalised them self or their ai made some mistakes maybe. Or they started as an ai that became evil and assimilated biological life on it's quest to perfection

I could see that too. Either way, it's a fun thought experiment to question how such an entity comes into being. Because surely the starting point looked a lot different given that they've assimilated (and therefore been changed by) thousands of species.
