Some don't, but many do. Does a 600k NVIDIA AI rack provide as much value as 600k worth of commodity solar panels, or 10,000 entry level mopeds? Most of the world (developing) benefits more from commodity widgets.

Fair. But isn’t that exactly what money is there for?

You can objectively compare the value (to the world in this case) of two very different set of items.
