Well yeah, that particular one is the French Royal library, obviously built to be a monument to French superiority, but in general, the working class building a library for itself isn’t exploitative.
Buildings like that one (way over the top) have traditionally been built by slaves and/or built with profits from colonisation, invasion etc
You get similar styles in communist countries when the building exists to serve the public. The USSR would often include a requirement for a portion of the budget go to local artists, so you ended up with no less ornamentation.
You don’t build anything like that without exploiting a lot of people.

The post in that context says that humans just can’t do the right thing.
The intention is of course just that a library is a real data centre.
