Tbh, without the last three steps, this is how business works in general.

You order parts for devices that don't exist yet (if they existed, you wouldn't need to order parts). Same with creating new data centers. You don't build the data center, and only when it's all fully finished go shopping around to see if the hardware you want to run is available or not.

Trying to capture mathematically impossible profits and satisfying inexistent demand are the only real points here.

Obligatory damn clankers.
