It doesn't have to be made illegal, just supply-constrained; many cities have zoning regulations pushed by NIMBYs limiting development (and pushing rents sky-high).

I'm not an engineer, but it seems hard to imagine that a lack of data center capacity won't have an effect on prices for cloud compute, which will have downstream impact on what workstations have access to (especially since more and more programmers are becoming reliant on coding LLMs).
