Data centers take time to build. The capital investment to build these DCs is needed now in expectation that future revenue streams will pay for that capital.

That's not what OpenAI announced. They said initial spend would be $100B, and I'm sure until the ink is dry on each contract, that they can change their mind at any time. No business is going to be placing ironclad commitments four years out.
