The reason why we don't see satellite-targeting missiles is not because the problem is hard. All relevant actors are capable of that.

All relevant actors are also capable of destroying ground-based data centres, but somehow that's not a huge problem for data centres.
You can take out a data center in space with an accidental collision of a small runaway satellite. Taking out a data center in the middle of Oregon would be significantly harder and will invite massive retaliation.
