Cooling and maintenance (part swaps, etc.) are one of many obvious reasons why this is bullshit.

Doesn't stop grifters, tough.

in actual datacenters you often don't even bother swapping parts and just let things die in place until you replace whole racks

Not my experience at a hyperscaler, at least a while back. It definitely made financial sense to swap a small part to get a ~50-100k$ server's capacity back online.
