The Borg have transporter technology of some sort. They could easily abduct select people from orbit and leave, but instead they invade planets and assimilate every person. It seems highly inefficient to me.
Any ideas?

Exactly. It’s meant to be an obvious piece of hypocrisy.
The real reason is that the Borg are so thoroughly sociopathic that they don’t care about their impact on other’s cultures, or even about the unnecessary costs to their own colony members.
