The obvious conclusion to me is that corruption is involved

Agreed. Difficult to prove but it's the obvious explanation.

  • What makes datacenters more corruptible than a real estate developer building a mall or office building? Unlike Microsoft or Google, your local mom&pop developer doesn't have an audit committee or a policy on ethics/corruption, so it's probably easier for them to bribe local politicians as well.
