Not sure of all the details (because I'm only a part-time geek), but I
presume Janeway made the film for continuity's sake and because Jeri Ryan is
busy with Boston Public. As far as the Romulans & Borg, there was some TNG
episode regarding a bunch of Federation outposts scooped up along the
Neutral Zone in Borg-take-all style. Presumably some Romulan outposts also
got grabbed.
Of course, that all took place before the events of "Deja Q," so the
informed geek might wonder about the chronology. Best not to wonder too
much, I guess. Star Trek has never been too strong on consistency or
continuity.

I almost wonder if that was a geek test, to see which zealots in the
audience would take the bait.

Yeah, that was really annoying. If they'd only said "well, at least it's
not Lore." Of course, Picard did refer to Soong's use of clever names for
his androids, but that's oddly non-specific. They could also have taken the
opportunity to have another Data/Soong interaction on the holodeck, or
perhaps to have Data contact his "mother" and ask about some of the other
pre-Data androids. At least there is on-screen precedent for those earlier
models.
Dave!
