I’m thinking about the non cleared data center folk, the sys admins and developers who use the servers for their applications.

How do a bunch of Supermicro servers vanish wintout anyone noticing? I’d expect quite a few people would be involved that do not have any clearances. Apple is known for their secrecy but a few other companies named are not.

At the scale their datacenter are, they must be replacing a full rack of servers every single day, just to follow a standard 3 years depreciation policy.

Servers practically vanish every single day. Add a few more supermicro and it's not even noticeable. Business as usual.

Maybe they didn't remove them.
