Most of your comments have nothing to do with operating a data center, and seems like you have some ill feelings towards Malta. Tourism, manufacturing, financial services are all other industries apart from igaming. Parts of your phone are likely to be made in Malta.

Well it’s still the low-tax promise (non-dom status)

Malta is a bit of a haven for all sorts of things. Crypto, eSports, Gambling, VPNs, etc, all have deep roots in Malta because its easy, less taxed, less restricted and for the most part, people view Malta as a good place.
