Data centers are massive infrastructural investments similar to roads and rails. They are not just a bunch of chips duct taped together, but large buildings with huge power and networking requirements. Power companies are even constructing or recommissioning power plants specifically to meet the needs of these data centers. All of these investments have significant benefits over a long period of time. You can keep on upgrading GPUs as needed once you have the data center built. They are clearly quite profitable as well, even if the chips inside are quickly depreciating assets. AWS and Azure make massive profits for Amazon and Microsoft.
