Wasn't being part of the collective "eternal suffering"? I know that's not far from average life, but at least I can hope life will get better.

In Picard it makes you feel constant euphoria. Which actually makes sense as a way of stopping people fighting against it.

Modern people with tortured minds would probably be happier as Borg, but in Star Trek's time they presumably have effective treatments for it so it's not so appealing.

In other words, yes, there would be a decent chunk of volunteers.
