How hot do you think black objects in space get? Something like 10°C. Look up thermal equilibrium of an ideal black body.

In the vicinity of the Earth, they get to about the temperature of the Earth. That’s not a coincidence. Hotter if they are actively generating heat.
So you can have datacenters in space, you are just not allowed to use them
Not using them would also solve all issues with cosmic radiation.
But are they doing work internally that generates heat? Genuine question.
