This site is likely not hosted out of a person's closet, hence you commenting here is likely a product of a data centre.

Ignoring this specific example, a majority of the population uses social media for leisure and online tools for work (email, banking, etc.).

A majority of interconnects between ISPs and networks are hosted in data centres too... so there wouldn't be much of an internet without them.

If you closed all data centres over night, the majority of the above would disappear and certainly would not be able to scale as large as it had without data centres... hence, a majority of people need data centres to maintain their current standard of living.
