The only reason a datacenter would ditch their H100 is if it becomes uneconomical to run them, with newer silicon providing much more power efficiency. When that happens they'll look like a used V100 looks today: horribly inefficient, lacking modern data types and engines, requiring screaming server fans with weird adapters to not melt, way beyond end of life in terms of cuda support. Almost completely damn useless unless you really have no other alternative.

Honestly, the primary reason you would ditch a H100 is because the ML models have moved onto a different data type, e.g. nobody uses fp8 anymore and everyone jumped onto fp4 or some custom block float thing.
