Yeah. I got bored a couple of hours after I posted that speculation and found several other colo facilities that mentioned that they'd do remote KVM. I'd figured that it was a common thing (a fair chunk of hardware you might want to colo either doesn't have IPMI or doesn't have IPMI that's worth a damn), but wasn't sure.

You really don't know how much it costs, do you?

Check https://tinypilotkvm.com/collections/all-products these are the cheapest ones.
