You're framing it so you can't lose by making the argument seem like a moral choice between "have data centres" or "live in a functional society".

That's a fallacy, and it is moral grandstanding. It's a useful way to win internet arguments (and internet points), but it is just a debate ending strategy.

I argued against “if you have capital, you can do what the fuck you want”.
