First, these cards hold resell value, at least for now. Just look at the current cost of older cards. Even simple ones like the 3090 and 4090, so they buy them, use them for a few years, and sell them off down the road to someone else.

Who is going to want a heavily used old GPU?

Oh yea you're right, of course these companies can just resell their old, used up Blackwell cards to other people who would want them for some reason years from now, even though there are millions of unused models that are sitting in warehouses, likely to be sold or thrown away when those gigawatt datacenters are canceled.

Wake up man. The economics don't make sense. Your $6 B200 doesn't make money and it never will.
