To say the quiet part out loud, I don't think any serious companies have any intention to build a data center in space. There is no benefit in actually trying this. There is however, benefit in saying you'll do it to advance a narrative and distract from the problems terrestrial data centers are facing to an audience that mostly doesn't understand how heat transfer in a vacuum works.

To say the even quieter part out loud, datacenters are colonial encampments (like energy projects). Space has no indigenous people to colonize.

Ok, but couldn’t you equally say that about anything constructed by industrialized people in places that used to have lots of non-industrialized people?

Yes. Industrialisation and its aftermath has been quite gruesome for a very long time.
