If they were Exocomps nothing would have got done, because they never would have gone along with that suicide mission in the first place.

Okay, you have a point, but Data, Binars, and Barclay have also all shown they can completely take over the ship with limited or no crew before in the past. Another easy fix would have been for data to just plug into ship like he did on the Titan and say he's controlling the ship directly from his positronic matrix.
Maybe on the Enterprise D, Data could be looking for where to plug in and Geordi could be like "I've upgraded to Bluetooth for you!"
And when Picard decided to get back into collective he could have been like "I'm jacking in, Jack!"
