That this is deemed brilliant is the sad part.

I mean, I would put brilliant in quotes in the way that it's brilliant for their profits. Not brilliant in the way of making the world a better place.

Companies hate OpEx and love CapEx. That's the main driver as companies loathe hardware life cycle costs and prefer a pay as you go model. It is more expensive but it's more budget friendly as you avoid sticker shock every 3-4 years.

There's more than just hardware and power cost to servers.

Primarily cost of employees taking care of the servers.

Replacing hardware only every 6 to 8 years, makes it better.
