If the business didn’t make sense they wouldn’t build them. At the same time people want all these advances in tech, data centres hold all that tech and data.

MB Hydro doesn't have infinite amount of energy. There's an opportunity cost of selling energy to a data centre. They have extremely low local employment per MWh of energy used. There are other energy intensive industries that would provide more employment.
It makes business sense to a private business, that doesn't necessarily equate to a public benefit.
