I think there is definitely some hubris governing the hivemind. Consider their ignoring people on the cubes, assuming them insignificant, which constantly bites them in the ass. Consider their assuming they can take Species 8472 and getting absolutely fisted to almost this point. Consider them leaving things they consider insignificant open to meddling in their code. Consider the Queen's assumption Data was going to take the offer of humanity without having a failsafe to control him.
The Borg are scary, imposing but not 'perfect'. They likely genuinely believed one cube was more than enough both times and surely enough they would have been if not for this hubris.
