Can confirm, built out a datacenter space in a past life. Power costs were of limited concern - cooling was the limited resource. Even then, literally no one went down a spec sheet and compared "hmm, this one has a tiny less amount of watts idle". We just kept servers dark regardless so that we can save on cooling. Nitpicking idle draw for server processors just isn't realistic for a lot of cases.
