At this point I am wondering if the decision makers at these companies are incompetent or malicious and literally don’t know what they are building and just see big number.

(it’s both)

Malicious of course. They get their data centers, and they don't give a rats ass about the local population. They deliberately choose locations where local leadership is easy to bribe, like the US and other third world countries.

I'm from a 'third world country' and I don't wanna be grouped with the US ok? We have free healthcare
