Yes but bare in mind the queen only came about because people needed a central vilan to hate in First Contact having an actual Borg queen was never necessary, look at Scorion or Best of Both Wolrds it is entirely possible to have the Borg concept work through having one speak for the many without ever implying that one has any sort of control over the hive as a whole like a Borg version of the human microphone.

I think the Borg queen could be one of Star Trek’s more intellectual moments, being a speculation on the nature of humanity itself.

Reminds me of this, from Giullio Girello:

“Yes, we have a soul, but it’s made of lots of tiny robots.”
