It's not like they're dunking the electronics in the water. They just need to filter it enough it doesn't clog up the system and run it in a closed loop.
If I can have a closed loop with a reservoir for my home PC, motherfucking Amazon can build a water storage tank for their cooling.
But that would require large capital investments that negatively impacts earnings reports.
Much better to screw over the people by taking their water for free.
Sure, but that means more space to allow for cooling the water so it can be reused. If you can cycle it w/ "unlimited" cool water from the ocean, it can be a lot more compact, and heated waste water could potentially be used by a desalinization plant to improve freshwater output.
Nuclear plants do that with lakes, they suck in cool water from one end and dump out the hot water at the other so that it can cool down by the time it circulates back in
