Do you think The Orville did the whole superweapon against a villain more morally than Trek did?

I'm referring to the mind virus Picard wanted to infect the Borg with in "I, Borg", the virus future Janeway infected the Borg with in "Endgame", vs the superweapon against the Kaylon robots in Orville's "Domino". I'm also assuming you've seen these episodes.

I feel the Planetary Union went about it more morally than Starfleet and the Federation. They had the same moral dilemma, a race of cyborgs or robots want to wipe out humanity and the only hope of stopping them is a potentially genocidal weapon. But in Trek, they never considered using the weapon as just a deterrent to force the enemy to stand down. Picard decides just to never use the invasive program only for Janeway to do basically that at the end of Voyager. Whereas in the Orville they discussed using it in such a fashion but decided not to, only demonstrating its power to force the Kaylon to stand down. I kinda wish the Federation did that to the Borg instead. What do you think?
