The property that I'm not seeing being discussed is effective sovereignty. A satellite data center is hardware that no one can physically access without enormous effort and expense. That could put them literally above the law in various respects, impossible to audit or shut down without the encryption keys or use of advanced weapons. If they start doing something especially objectionable to the public, protesters can't do anything to hinder their operation.
