There's going to be continued support from local electricians, low voltage wiring vendors, various facilities service companies, HVAC, and now plumbers.. lots of plumbers. So many leaks. A site like this is going to have probably a few hundred full time people on site all the time in addition to the contracted folks.

A DC does not have a few hundred full time people on site 24/7, it's going to be less than a dozen. It takes much, much less people to run a data center than people think.
A dozen people couldn't handle the number of daily nvidia compute tray RMAs one of these datacenters produces.
oh there is shipping & handling or just handling? :)
Well they're liquid cooled, so there's some extra handling required. Then there's the sky high failure rate.
