Ok and you put more thought into the framing of this story than the author of the vice post(I will not call that an article) did. If you think there isn't an anti-datacenter circlejerk and this wasn't bait for it I don't know what to tell you. High value cargo theft did not start because of datacenters, but you definitely only heard about this one because of the huge appetite for anti-datacenter news.
That's what I mean by circlejerk. Things that are not actually particularly exceptional are being treated like major news stories because people crave confirmation bias and schadenfreude. This vice post is one of the most transparent examples of the outrage economy that I've seen in a while.
