Because it would be absolute madness to setup servers of that magnitude and go into the power related options etc when you can easily get hosting space from someone else and avoid the entire hassle. That would practically be making the whole project into an ISP project. But even with all those things put in, 56m US is a hell load of money. You're talking about close to 100b USH That is bigger than the entire yearly budget allocation of some sizable ministries.
