While you are correct, this is not what Hetzner said. If the highest cost in the TOC would be acquisition an not floor space over time, then OP would be right

having worked in this industry previously, i can confidently say that hardware has a lifecycle. towards the end of that lifecycle the hardware is no longer affordable to even have powered on.

if the server costs $46 a month to have racked up and powered on, and is less powerful than a $15 vps we’re offering in the same location then what sense does it make to continue offering that server?
