Picard, Hugh and Seven of Nine all talk about what being part of the collective is like. There are great benefits to being a part of it. Seven at many points describes how being a part of the collective means immortality, safety, security, and never having to be alone.
Presumably, it is only when not part of the collective that any of these people valued their individuality. While in the collective, they revel in lacking it. They are reassured by it. It feeds into all people's desires to not have to make choices on your own. To the extreme, yes, but it must be comforting.
The immortality alone would have me lining up to join them.
