You are engaging in the "but you participate in society" fallacy.

One can critique systems they are still interacting with, to suggest otherwise is just so incredibly lazy.

Not at all. The post being responded to completely failed to acknowledge any value brought by data centers to the general populous. That's disingenuous. To force the point: run me through the scenario where we turn off all the data centers. Consider how much more water we will have, how much less expensive electricity will be, and what other problems might arise.
