Land tends to appreciate, but not so much the rotting box atop it

I bring this up not as a "well, ackshually" but because the datacenter analogy is more similar in that respect...except worse, because now it's a rotting box full of very expensive hardware that hasn't historically held a lot of value until this current shortage

And the hyperscalers have made the (questionable) choice of depreciating that hardware over 6 years rather than the usual 4.
