Oh, that's hilarious.

Not only are data centres a legitimate target due to being used by the military, they're also a relatively small building filled with very valuable, very fragile equipment. So, if you want to cause significant problems for your enemy, they just make sense as a target.

Added benefit that it's not a school, hospital, or place of religious worship.
