maybe, but cold adapated animals have a similar arrangement where they used closely packed vessels for countercurrent heat exchange. probably not useful for hot environment. or maybe it allows more attachment for muscle or other organs, making you hard to kill. somewhat like a TAKARAN.
they are not "advanced" they are just an amalgam of all the civilizations they absorbed. Therefore, no other civilisation has good cable management. I mean, look at you, all your cables are a mess, nerves looping, arteries, veins, lymph nodes, and a big one for poo? figure out them cables before complaining.
I assumed the parts of their brains which process pain were repurposed during assimilation, allowing them to easily surpass the safety limits we employ due to the pain of over-strenuous activity. Paired with the ability to plug back in and get all the healing nutrients they need pumped straight in
Honestly, if you'd imagine the amount of botch wiring you'd have to do to turn a human into a fully integrated drone with long range wifi, this ain't a half bad job.
It was probably good to start with, but every species they assimilate makes it a little bit worse each time, as each species's technologically distinctive lack of cable management adds to the mess
Because the Borg aren't an advanced race, they're shambling body horror zombies, except they're in Star Trek so they have to be technological shambling body horror zombies.
Proof the Borg don't make sense: Seven of Nine has two tits and one eye.

Bro, have you seen your own internal cable management?

Giraffes have the same thing.
My cable management is not a mess, it's just natural evolution!

It seems disadvantageous to have all your blood vessels so close together.

Plunger of death! It will suck you off. Honestly surprised Russell T Davis didn't invent the alien considering he likes to suck

apparently those balls on the dalek is used as a energy filed to self destruct.

You would destroy the Borg with four Daleks?

That’s just what it looks like when you continually rotate your cable frequencies.

They apparently sacrificed cable management for... abs. Just take look at Hughs abs! Those are committed drone abs.

at least the blindspot is replaced by implant that can detect cloaked individuals, disruptions in spacetime.

No, but seriously, this is what the drones of a cybernetic hivemind with proper cable management and standardisation look like:

The real cable management was the friends we assimilated on the way.
