Think of the gaming GPUs!
The GPUs are basically proprietary to the severs which are near proprietary to their racks/setups.

From the liquid cooling built into the $2-4 million dollar rack to the proprietary network/data cables to transfer the information at the speeds they do, most people would have no way to use them.
