It does. mainly because of the cooling requirements. Bitcoin folks operate their facilities like the wild west and have no problems just opening the windows (large overhead doors) and using natural cooling for the location. Data centers will be completely climate controlled and maintaining somewhere around 70F indoor temps.
Bitcoin folks dont really even care about backup generation a lot of times. Where as a data center is going to have anywhere from 125% to 200% onsite generation capability and massive UPS systems.
