On a systems engineering level, keeping a system in a state of low entropy for a prolonged period of time will always be harder than a state of higher entropy.

On a systems engineering level, keeping a system in a state of low entropy for a prolonged period of time will always be harder than a state of higher entropy. In practice, this comes down to more complexity in the software involved, and the people required to make the machine go boop will inevitably higher, since you need to maintain the servers and the complicated stack on them.
