this is also about geopolitics. Destroying satellites in space hurts your own space infrastructure (see the movie "Gravity")
On the ground nothing harms your own infra by dropping a bomb on another datacenter that might be powering the opponents entire military strategy.
Terrorism threat is nonexistent now, but maybe not in the future.
The movie Gravity was not a documentary. It broke more laws of physics than the claims about data centers do.
exaggeration makes visible, runaway collisions are definitely a problem. I didnt like the movie, but space collisions are no joke...
