Not that it doesn't happen but I've worked in datacenters, including our favorite clouds, and cdn/video architecture for 15 years and have never seen servers replaced on any cadence that wasn't us losing a customer and me sticking a quad core xeon under my desk. These are $10k-100k+ servers. My multitenant/offload capable NICs are usually $10k-25k themselves.
