I suppose that's very true. But it could be done - if a data center needs megawatts of cooling and is in an area where buildings need to be heated in the winter, then there should be a legal obligation to not just dump that heat.

Pumping 80 degree water outside of a building in winter isn't going to help anyone...

That's right in the range for subfloor heating, obviously a question of whether or not you can get it somewhere that you need it
