Why wouldn't the Borg simply assimilate the Cybermen and steal their tech?

Why wouldn't the Borg simply assimilate the Cybermen and steal their tech?

When you compare their level of tech to anything in the TNG universe, isn't it like assimilating a technologically advanced trash can?

I don't think they should mix the two universes. Dr Who is fantasy sci-fi and TNG is hardcore sci-fi.
