I don't think normal businesses have Inergen fire suppression,
two separate electricity feeds or two separate internet
connections either.

On the contrary.

In an office people have a legitimate need to get into the building
all the time so access control need to be practical. At a
hosting facility visitors are way rare and they can check the
technicians very carefully.

In an office people tend to like windows. Computers do not care
so a hosting facility do not need windows.
