As a complete layman, I do wonder why you would bother building a datacenter at a place that everyone agrees is going to be basically underwater in the next 50-100 years.

Wouldn’t 45 to 95 years of use be plenty of time for ROI?
You're thinking of the maldives.
although, Microsoft did a whole experiment with underwater data centers, so maybe there's lessons from there that could be applied.
The coasts will definitely be wiped in 100 years but underwater is a bit of an overstatement
