And, electricity costs "at-scale".  ;-)

And, most especially data center cooling costs.  ;-)

And, the opportunity costs of lower processing throughput for increasingly
large data sets.  ;-)

And, the less scalability for concurrent and parallel systems.  ;-)

And, the shortened component lifespan due to increased loads.  ;-)

And, the poor engineering design incentives they encourage.  ;-)

And, the confusion/sloppiness and non-determinism present in the resulting
systems.  ;-)

And, ... <snip, karmic discussions>  ;-)
