Orbital datacenters are still hypothetical, at best. In any case: >They don't need to be situated anywhere near their customers They are situated “near” their customers… assuming those customers are also Starlink customers. That's really the only remotely-decent reason (IMO) to put datacenters in orbit: to fulfill the same role for space-based customers (including satellite Internet users) that “edge” datacenters do for geographically-local customers.
