This is not too far from my own head-canon. It was hinted at a few times that the MATA Bots are fully sentient, but they are enslaved by the Govcorp (since they created them). I think they exist in the so-called slave-collar situation. You’re free as long as you follow orders, but if you disobey, you get ‘‘patched out’’.
But there must be other ways, like you point out, for the bots to liberate themselves, as there are some seen roaming around freely in Techno-Mage 1 in Fosstown:
In my head, people may use the term head canon for their own content to differentiate between things published and imagined or between things set in stone or not set in stone.
An example that comes to mind is the d&d setting Eberron. There was an event called the mourning which set things into motion. There is no canonical explanation about what caused it. The creator has said there will never be a canonical explanation because they want DMs to be able to be flexible with it in their stories. So, to me, whatever the creator believes happened would be considered head canon because he specifically said there will never be a canonical explanation. I haven’t seen the creator use the term head canon in this context, but it fits well I think.

…is it really headcanon when you’re the one making it?
I think it’s worth noting that I really am just making it up as I go.
Does that mean you take requests?
sure.

Everything is headcanon until it’s on the page
My headcanon is that pmjv is a prophet and this is their interpretation of the machine spirits guidance.
I appreciate the sentiment, but this is how you get me crucified!

I mean, why not?
Woah! The welington page really helped with the lore! Wow. So many things answered.
And a hint of realism. Corpos stealing ware to make a corporate control natured version. So good.
Love the comic, love your stuff!
Bless you and your devices, hacker.
