It isn't, and you're right. This is just a long-winded article by someone who thinks they've come across a deep, crucial insight.
I witnessed a bank foreclosure stemming from large, unpaid loans to a lumber mill. The bank absolutely didn't want to take possession of the operation, but had no choice when the founder decided to call it a day.
The bank had no idea what to do with finished lumber sitting in the drying ovens, let alone the entirety of mill infrastructure itself. After struggling to find a buyer, they hired the founder as a consultant to handle liquidation. The same would happen with a repossessed datacentre.
