Do datacenters really require good infrastructure? Given they are planned all around I suspect that’s not really the case. I’m also not convinced university or the quality of labors are strong arguments. Aren’t those datacenters made fairly cheaply and full of automation?

I answered a general question. And datacenters require quite a bit of infrastructure - roads, power lines, cheap electricity, abundant water. And if they don't use labor, then there is no reason to want them in your state anyway.
