This is like saying anyone against Big Oil doesn’t understand that cars need gasoline.
Data centers are unregulated, inefficient, ecologically destructive resource pits parasitical on local townships. They’re a blight that needs to be regulated or curtailed. Anyone who is not against them is simply insulated from the externalities of their cancerous existence.
Now Imagine a world where data centers had to use (and purify) wastewater and generate their own clean energy. Why, then I’d be all for them!
