Eh, aren't the footprints of these datacenters really low compared to all the other things we use space for? Also they don't really need premium land they can be built basically anywhere, so you could put them where nothing could grow anyway. I don't think the space is a concern, and including it weakens your argument. However electricity is a more serious concern. Data centers do use a significant amount of the world electricity, and the production of that electricity does come with concerns and tradeoffs.
