Time is a factor here. You need to launch each of these into space. Now, in the time it took to send those satellites up into space, how many datacenters and how many solar panels and how many GPUs could you have set up and built and had operational? If latency isn't a factor, why bother building them in the US? Build them in Iceland where they have cheap geothermal! The amount of rockets you'd need to launch to fit the same number of GPUs as a datacenter is definitely quite a few. SpaceX has done 165 flights in 2025. How many datacenters or solar farms or battery plants can you build in the time it'd take to launch 1 datacenter worth of satellites?

I'm entirely ignoring the problem of cooling in space (which is a huge problem!), and of how much it'd cost to launch the satellites.
