Why Would Anyone Want A Data Centre?

Britain has always had a good NIMBY-ism going on whether it is Prisons, Power Plants, Nuclear Waste Sites or Refugee Camps, everyone agrees that they are needed but Not In My Back Yard and a huge back and forth then takes place but it seems that nobody wants a Data Centre anywhere near them which is a problem for the Government who are keen to build them as part of their  Data Centre policy.
The Americans are far ahead of us in this respect and their appears to be a huge backlash over there and even more-so for candidates campaigning right now with the Mid Terms elections coming up next week.
What the residents near these Data Centres say is that they are huge, noisy things which suck up their electricity which increases their bills and use up their water with very little benefit coming back to the Community which hosts them.
The argument is that they bring jobs to the area and benefit it financially but that's not the experience of people who already have them such as  the OpenAI’s Stargate Project in Michigan where it requires very few people, just 20 staff members who were hired as Security Guards, because it did not need staff as was just a warehouse of servers.
So apart from the long-term costs on power, water, and denying land which could be otherwise used for something useful such as housing as well as delivering minimal jobs or direct community benefit, not much going in their favour except finding more Cat Videos and Alexa harvesting your information.
Do the locals get any reduction in cost of their Internet or better Wifi or anything? Not at all so I really can't see why any community would welcome them, which any political representative will find hard to sell to their voters.
